We've all seen them. These masked, black clad, E-bike riders, from distant lands, who scour the streets looking for mobile phones, handbags, and watches. They have become the scourge of our streets. No doubt the man on the right of the photo was just about to lose his phone!
I remember on one occasion, when I was taking Billy for a walk, there were two characters just like these two above, lining up side by side on a quiet street. Suddenly they both took off at a terrifying speed, racing each other; the acceleration was startling. I had no idea that those electric bikes could go so fast.
When these people steal your phone or watch, you wouldn't stand a chance of catching them, they'd be hundreds of yards away before you even knew what had happened.
Personally I think that such people should be arrested BEFORE they commit crimes. just the wearing of black face masks, gloves, etc, suggests they're up to no good. Confiscate their bikes and crush them. No-one who's out to do some shopping would dress like that. We all know what they're up to.
Act first, and ask questions later.
Which side of the bed did you get out of this morning?

My son was knocked-over yesterday by one of those speeding, be-masked, probably illegal immigrant, Deliveroo riders. He didn't stop (of course). Just sped-off at high speed.
