Perhaps they were too stupid to know where they live!

People are still stupid enough to leave there bikes unattended. I know you should be able to, but in this day and age you cant! Id never leave my bike left anywhere, even if it was locked up. Afterall it did cost £600

My Dad had his bike stolen from Leigh Station probably around the same time as this incident happened. Although he still hasnt got his bike back nor have the people been caught, but his bike was chained up on the top shelf underneath the camera. obviously the idiots didnt realise this, so they were caught on camera.! Hopefully these are the same people and they have been caught. People should be able to leave there bikes unattended. (but obviously chanied up!!)
