Woman sitting outside my apartment complex for 30 minutes. I asked her if she was ok. ā¹ļø She was not ok, just had her electric bike stolen and she was sitting there too afraid to go home and tell her guy. She said she was just away from it a few minutes and then it was gone. Not much I could do other than console and say call the police.
I suspect the thieves were following her in a van and stole it real quick because what are chances of a bike being stolen like that?
but bloody hell that is rough and just before xmas too

Thatās pretty rough š I witnessed an attempted bike theft at Coburg station a few days ago. Broad daylight, bike locked up right in the main bike parking bit as you walk into the station, heaps of people around. Suddenly this kid yells out, āOI! THATāS MY FUCKINā BIKE!ā He was with 3 mates and they looked like they were gonna run out onto the road (but thankfully didnāt because Bell Street). I looked and thereās this dude trying to undo the lock or something. He legged it and when the lights changed the kids came across the road and went to the bike. One of them said, āoh man, look what heās done to your lock! Youāre gonna have to call your parents.ā Dude had obviously wrecked the lock in the process of trying to steal it and the kid couldnāt undo it. Bloody thieving is out of control!
