Bait bike Episode 1

[@jonorl1]

Hope this gets more media attention. Is not just Hampshire Police, is police all across the UK ignoring bike theft, even when there's plenty of evidence.

Someone steals a $2000 bike? "Who cares?" - The POLICE Rob a bank for $2k though? "We will be there in 30 seconds" - The POLICE

We have a real bad problem with this in Tempe Arizona too.

[@AnonAtkal2]

so true , we had to find bike ourselves!

[@westmibaddrivers2573]

Only way this stuff is going to end is when the crooks face gets plastered on Social media, and local press, AND we get some Judges with some nads to impose some harsh punishments on them.. like 1,000 hours community service sorting trash or cleaning up dog Poo at the park wearing a vest that proclaims them to be a bike thief.

Great work. I had an expensive one nicked guildhall. Got a new one now and super paranoid about it even locked properly. Liked and subscribed!

[@lnrmedia208]

Thank you! There is a thief targeting Guildhall with an angle grinder stealing ebikes. I have him in my sights in an upcoming operation 😀

[@justhadtosay680]

Officer Randy reporting for duty, Mr Lahey going to be proud!! 😊

There is a guy in Teddington who I think sells them on. My husband had quite a rare bike stolen from our garden in Southsea. A few months later his identical replacement bike and my electric bike were stolen from our shed. I asked Ebay to let me know if bikes like them came up for sale and months later there was one just like my husband's for sale. By then I couldnt be bothered to even let the police know because it wasnt local and we had claimed on our insurance. Around the same time as this the same chap sold spare parts which I think were the parts of my bike. I bought one of the first of this kind of electric bike in the country so it would have been very identifiable. I expect the chap knew this and decided to break it up and sell its parts. If anyone is interested in looking in more detail at this chap in Teddington I can let them have details.

Keep up the vids, doing a great job.

Great video! Got my bike stolen from outside Portsmouth guildhall last month. Locked it up, went in to lalys pharmacy to get my second jab, came out 20 mins later and it was gone. It was a black and blue Boardman MX Sport. Would love to help in support of your effort in bringing these bike thief’s to justice!

[@terry_willis]

Mate: Hope that second jab is not fatal. That stuff if not a vaccine - it's a deep state poison. Good luck my friend.

I would like to know where the stolen bikes are going. Searched for mine for ages, had a unique Superior racing team carbon fibre. Never found it.

[@Longs81]

Great video! A trap camera catching the shit bag in the act would eliminate the “I just bought it mate” argument.

[@lnrmedia208]

I would probably have to put a GPS on the camera too!! Thanks for watching!

[@roadmonitoroz]

@@lnrmedia208 I was watching a video from the youtube channel "towtrucker" and some guy stole his camera. He records his tows. The guy walked past the tow truck guy as he was loading a vehicle and picked it up, looked straight into the camera then walked off . Once I worked in a shop and some chavs came in, stole the charity tin (about $20 or so in it in coins), ran out, opened it up then came back into the store 15 minutes later to use the money on the pinball machine. As if I wouldn't notice...

[@nickavery5617]

What GPS tracker were you using? Where was it installed?

[@lnrmedia208]

Trakisafe tracker. Comes with sim card and 1 month contract for £3p/m. Thanks for watching! This one was installed in the seat btw

[@roadmonitoroz]

He must have "purchased" the bike at the scene of the crime. Interesting video . I just hope you don't get beat up or harassed by the police for doing this (It happens - Well at least here)

[@deelitedmanchester4302]

I came across your comment on CyclingMikey's channel and thought I'd take a look. Great video and very "ballsey" of you to track down the thief. Very disappointing result from the Police though. Bikes and their parts are so easy to steal no matter how good your lock is, just as your video proved. So it would be nice if the Police would take bike theft a little more seriously. _Only criticism of video, please don't hold your phone in portrait mode, it's so annoying._ 😀

[@FELENATOR]

This shit is riveting.

[@lnrmedia208]

Thanks David. It's a shame it didn't generate the subscriber support I had hoped for in order to do these more often.

[@notyetskeletal4809]

Keep exposing them!

[@lnrmedia208]

I will try. This video didn't capture as much interest as I had hoped (I need to liven things up) for the pilot episode. I will try again soon. The more the word gets out, the more vids I can make!

[@keithhere5292]

Police would rather trample a poor old native american elder with their horses than arrest thieves

[@chrisdoherty2199]

Wish this was a regular series

[@lnrmedia208]

Not enough subs to make it worthwhile

[@lucywucyyy]

this shit makes me scared to even take my bike out in the city i think im gonna stick to mountainbiking id love to use a bike for commuting and shopping n stuff but itl only get stolen

[@ukidding]

congratualtions

[@intergalacticbasketballdro7186]

One up ? Put that theif's face on the thumbnail !

[@ynyan8022]

Isn't it a crime to buy a stolen bike?

[@noblephoenix6151]

Can't prostitute? Sounds like it's time to take the law into your own hands if the police won't do their job.

[@saved_yet_so_as_by_fire]

Prostitution is illegal, so of course the police cannot prostitute.

[@noblephoenix6151]

@@saved_yet_so_as_by_fire Haha, this is an old comment, but I bet I meant prosecute.

Meh. I was expecting a clothes hanger take-down.
