Beloved singlespeed BMC MC01 team edition was nicked outside a pub in Farnham this evening (the fence was smashed to get the bike free). And I'm gutted. I get to Farnham station and there is the scamp about to carry it onto the train.
I remonstrate somewhat forcibly and he keeps complaining that is his despite me having the key to get the Hiplok off. I just give up, kick the shit out his knee and when he drops I get on the train with my bike and head home.
Almost makes up for the 3 bikes I never got back.
Edit: I'm 68, weedy and try to keep out of trouble. But I just lost it.

You have lived the dream/nightmare that we all have the night after having a bike nicked.
Like a lot!
Glad you retrieved it safely! I bet he wasn't expecting street justice!
👍👍😁😁
Quality. I hope the scumbag has learnt a lesson.
That’ll learn him. Well done you.
what pub?
Were you wearing hard soled cycling shoes?
Glad you're ok and got the bike back!

Sadly I am wearing my nice comfy Sketchers after a long day at the test centre. It was probably like a chiropractor's kiss rather than the Jack Reacher restructuring of his lower skeleton that I intended.
Luckily for me. At least I stopped when he was on the floor. I've never lost it like that before.
what pub?
The Albion.
Anyone able to see if we can get the CCTV from the station?

Fight night on the train to Guildford! I'd buy the t-shirt.
From what I can see I should be able to request the footage.
Let's hope the drunk scooter doesn't do it first...

Never forget to wear your kneepads. 😉
Finish him!!
Rule one. Stop kicking when they are on the floor. Never jump on their head.
(And it wasn't as cool as that. He was younger, bigger but proper passed. I rather wish he hadn't panicked when I mentioned getting the police involved.)
YES!
the Jack Reacher restructuring of his
I hope you gave him a count of 3 but went on 2!
Nice one. I hope you really bent it the wrong way and messed up some tendons.
Prays for no CCTV
Plot twist: your key didn't fit and it was an identical bike.
😁

We’ll have to have a whip round when our plucky OP gets sued to high heaven by the thieving little shit for lost earnings in his job as full-time Xbox slug.

As a fellow 68 year old weedy coward I applaud you and take heart from your success.
Good on ya, grey power!
OP you clearly have anger management issues…
Farnham
Thats farming country 😕 Should have left him with a couple of acres into the bargain.
I can quite understand having a tasty singlespeed to exit Ghastly Guildford for a pint.
Well done on getting it back op.👍
Well done that man!
OP you clearly have anger management issues…
I’m assuming that was tongue in cheek so here’s a tongue in cheek response - The issue being that he got angry, dealt with some scrote who knicked his bike and then stopped being angry and went home. Result! 👍😎
Im looking forward to seeing the cctv on the front page of the daily mail 😂
Good man.
People should be allowed to have nice things and use them for their intended purpose, without having to constantly compromise just to avoid it being stolen or damaged.
You can argue about criminal activity being a product of society breakdown, we're all victims etc etc, but hopefully getting caught with a good smack will make that scrote think twice.
There's me thinking Farham was far too civilised for such things.
OP you clearly have anger management issues…
Looks like we all do when it comes to our bikes being nicked. 🤬😊
