Bike thief gets confronted...

Some of you have no doubt seen this on Prollys blog at some point this week. In case you haven't, here you go...

Bike Thief vs Street Justis from triple on Vimeo.

From Urban Cyclist:
Here's the story. I was having brunch on first ave and first street with a a couple of friends including Alfred .It was a pretty sunny day and a good there was a good amount of pedestrian traffic .Nothing unusual. Alfred went out to make a call and spotted someone looking over his bike. Nothing unusual ,he got a hot ass cannondale with hot ass wheels.the guy was average looking,had a helmet and a bag.looked like your average joe casual biker.Suddenly this dude gets on his knees and pulls out a drill.At first Alfred thought he wanted to steal his wheels,until he saw the drill.Is this what it has come out to?!people stealing bike with drills?Anyways as he was getting ready to drill the ulock,Alfred comes in the restaurant and yells,!yooooo someones trying to steal my bike,lets go get him.and let me tell you this ass hole tried stealing the wrong bike.first it was a bike messengers bike and second it was Alfred's bike and the motherFkr got a temper sometimes.so we roll out to this dude and start pounding him.my first instinct was to get my U lock and bang on him,but my bike was already locked up so , we bumbrushed this dude and started pounding him.Everybody is watching and wondering why this dude is being plumeted ,but at that point we don't give a fuck.we had to make sure this asshole dosen't do it again.me personal i have had 2 bikes stolen,in like a month apart.fuck that shit.he did't even look like a bike thief!so while pounding him i reach out to put my phone in my pocket and realized i had a camera on my wait.i pulled it out and captured the second half of the beating!

I personally think he got off pretty easy; could have been much much worse considering the situation. Moral of the story, don't steal peoples bikes...

Street Justice

Courts? They take forever. Sometimes it does take street justice. It was not the guy's first time stealing a bike. You got what he deserved. Well done guys!!!

Let me get all the BS out of the way:

Dude they should have beat his ass

But dude who are they to hurt someone or kill someone over something material

fuck that, and fuck thieves..i would have beat his ass way worse

but dude you are the same guy that gets pissed when cops beat someone up

yah but thats different

why?

blah blah

but blah

k done!


In all seriousness, this isnt "street justice." The guy was standing up, not bleeding, and will most likely steal someones bike again. If you are gonna do it, do it right. If you would rather not harm someone over material things, or you have faith in your local PD call them, and get dicked around like some of our friends are right now.

I hope they at least took his drill :)
