Went to Canterbury with my lad today, after a bit of an issue with fuel contamination on his bike. Nice ride out, parked in Queningate about 2pm. Noted a BMW GS 1200(?) as I parked my GS next to it, my lad parked one bike away from a Green & Silver Mandello, with a helmet padlocked to the rack
Wandered off into town, came back to the bikes about 4pm. The GS looked like its top box had been opened - it was a vario, I don’t recall it being open when I parked, and then I noted the helmet had disappeared from the Mandello’s rack.
I could be wrong, and there could be perfectly reasonable explanations for both observations, but my guess is that some little scumbag has just spoiled two peoples’ Christmas.
It would probably be morally indefensible to think of one of the victims catching the oik in the act and breaking his fingers slowly.
you may be confusing this forum with Facebook. there is no ‘ignore’ facility here. I was just wondering if you were reporting an actual problem at a specific spot, perhaps issuing a useful warning to fellow members, or offering assistance to a member subject to a theft.
I think simply reporting an observation, and expressing a regret that such things seem so commonplace, and, based on experience, reflecting that Kent plod will issue a crime number if you insist, and do nothing more.
