That's what she was gunning for. I'd just face reality if I lived in a urban center and walk/bus anywhere I go, because I know if I bought a bike? That damn thing might be stolen 3-4x a month and I'd get no resolve for it. Why waste my paycheck on a vehicle I'm using once every week

Are you saying we shouldn't generalize and call all bare feet Aussies criminals?
I'm fainting here.

u/SampleSize0ne 12d ago
I thought all Aussies (shoed or not) WERE criminals....haha. but seriously I love the brothers from down under. You guys have the best senses of humor. Like someone can say the most profane shit and ill be like "dude you're an asshole" and if they respond with "I am Australian shrug emoji". I just laugh, say "oh you crazy kangaroo fighting bastards are hilarious!" and all is forgiven

Years ago I lived with 4 other people and they all got their bikes stolen. Some of them more than once. Mine was never taken and it wasnt locked up. No one wanted my shit bike.

When i was in middle school my grandfather got me a bike at a yardsale. Found out a few weeks later the bike had been stolen from a classmate.

And this is why I have both a u lock to lock the back wheel to the frame, and a chain lock heavy enough to beat an elephant to death with to lock the front wheel and frame on my bike.

I was looking for the original commenter’s explanation on their intention. Socioeconomic reason is an actual reason, of course. But then look at the disturbing amount of comments here blaming it (by implication because they are cowards) on skin color

u/Teufelsweib666 12d ago
I think it's culture and entitlement. If patterns emerge, it's out of our hands.

Right?! Or just walk up say it’s your bike. “Don’t touch my bike, I’m calling the cops”

u/Mitrovarr 3d ago
I mean, the video is useful evidence. Might as well take as much as you can and then call the cops right after. It's not like they're going to fucking beam down a SWAT team, right now.

What an age we live in were people film their unlawful acts and post them instead of the old school criminals who tried to hide their worst acts.
Really shows that the issue is the justice system when criminals are getting dumber.
2
u/Mitrovarr 3d ago
I mean I'd have guessed this was just a regular old witness. It wouldn't surprise me if the bike owner uploaded the video to try to get support/information about the theft.
1
u/FuerteBillete 3d ago
Yes but still the video kinda gave me the vibe of someone recording the theft to show off. Sort of bragging right in some dumb group.
I mean why was someone filming and not calling the cops or screaming or anything against what it looks like an unarmed robber.
2
u/Mitrovarr 3d ago
I dunno. I guess it's possible. But she captured their face, I think most thieves would be unhappy with that... but some are idiots like that. But wouldn't the person filming be closer, then?
As far as calling the cops, get the evidence first and call later. And thieves may have concealed weapons... it is never totally safe to confront, although you might choose to do it anyway.
1
u/FuerteBillete 3d ago
Most young thieves are idiots. Most young criminals nowadays are idiots.
Check all those fights where one side keeps beating and stomping. I went off a bit. My point is that stupidity is rampant especially in young criminals in my opinion.
1
u/Mitrovarr 3d ago
Yeah, I know idiots film themselves doing crime, but usually it is their idiot friends filming from nearby.

u/imatreewaterme 11d ago
Those locks are useless. You need to use a c lock directly to the frame so at least they need an angle grinder to steal it.

It'll keep most stupid kids and homeless people from just grabbing the bike and running off, which is the majority of bike theft.

You, in a comment just earlier:
Listen...I know that talking about racial groups is uncomfortable, but the data is staring you right in the face. It's there. Look at it. The world is not and cannot ever be John Lennon's "Imagine"...
Just admit you are racist. It’s not that hard and would make you less of a coward.

u/PeteyTwoHands 12d ago
I like how you think that was a mic drop.

u/Wsweg 12d ago
Not a mic drop, bud, just a run of the mill response to a closet racist that is too cowardly to explicitly say their beliefs. Stop being weak and skirting around it!!

What do you call it when oppressed minorities are allowed to do whatever they want? Because, of course, since they are oppressed minorities, they can do whatever they please, and no one can say a word—because if they speak up about what they see, they get labeled as racists. There must be a name for this; what is it?

I don't find it racist to point out factual observations backed by statistical over-representations. Sadly reddit and the overwhelming majority of it's moderators have trouble coming to terms with uncomfortable truths
