How is this a meaningful deterrent?

[slappy]

Should have chopped their hands off, that might deter them!

[red98]

Do they really think that banning them from touching vehicles without the owners consent is going to stop them

Don't want to stretch my chains with something that thick in

Burglars are the ones that feck me right off, they all need chucking into a hungry lions cage.

Don't want to stretch my chains with something that thick in

Penis, chain, rear sprocket, 6000 revs. Jobs-a-goodun.
Stop them producing any more little theving clones in the future

[steve 10562cc]

Dam tommy you've changed my way of thinking now that's a far better way than mine of using a chain and sprocket.

Just about sums up our great judicial service, for  these low life wankers Christmas just came early. I'm a great believer in what goes around comes around and in the near future  I hope they get taught to be respectful of people's hard earned property

Just caught this - I'm near speechless.... I live near Leeds, ride in there quite often. It's comforting (not) to know that there appears to effectively be an open season on bikes in that particular city now if the best our (taxpayer-funded) magistrates can manage is a no-touchy injunction (which even Frickin' lapses after a year FFS!!).
Now I'm a fairly liberal soul, me, against capital punishment, not impressed with the deterrent created by long prison sentences, but christ-on-a-bleedin-moped, they must be laffin' their thieving cocks off. I despair. Really, get these scrotes employed for a year  tidying some of the shit up round Leeds. Lord knows there's enough of it.

what's wrong with branding them on the forehead with (Thief) I think that would do the business.

Unfortunately not, to that kind of person it becomes a badge of honour.
