        While I dont necessarily agree, I do agree that petty theft affects regular people all the damn time, you cant do anything about it or you can catch an assault charge, the cops cant or wont do anything about it either so you just have to accept that sometimes people are going to take your shit and nothing is going to happen.

        It would be nice to know those people get their comeuppance from time to time.

          As someone who has had to replace three car windows in six months,… yes! Fuck these lowlifes. They deserve a little of this.

          To be fair, if everybody did this, bike thefts would decrease. I wonder how many people who got beaten up stole a bike again.

        Yeah, unless you’re a police department and are literally doing a sting operation, this is just robbing people with extra steps.

          It’s robbing people who are unlikely to call the police because of the crime they had just committed.

              Which tbf self selects for “people who kinda deserve it” over “innocent people, at least ostensibly.”

        nah bike thieves are among the lowest of the low, among child abusers and oil execs. Utter sociopathy. It’s one of the scummiest things you can do, hands down.
