Biscuity
Somebody stole my bike after cutting the lock. It was a pretty nice road bike very lightweight but older. Its brakes had just gone out.

Three of these four were attempted theft, not robbery.
SomeDetroitGuy
Booby trapping a bike to injure the thief is morally worse than theft of a $80 bike.

Damn minorities.

#4 how does he not see the chain?
LordHosk
He looks down at it twice while going down the hill.
DrowningLessons
Because he's not seeing someone else do it, from a computer screen, without adrenaline, and able to observe without action
theaxeman
Guy doesn't even know how to ride a bike
yaddiex3
I don't understand the sequence of events in the first one.
NomadUniverse
Guy grabs stock and pretends to stand in line, then tries to make a break for it. Riskin it for the biskit, or crisps in this case.
Thanks. I thought that somehow he had robbed the clerk and was stupidly just standing there.
Yes, "Robbery Fails" had me wrongly expecting a robbery too.

Why do we enjoy watching the petty theft attempts of the poor fail? I'd rather enjoy watching through moral satisfaction the rich get owned
So would I, but it doesn't usually end up in video files.
and that my friends is cultural power, although, I would appreciate some skits of a scene like this but for an offshore bank lol

Read as robbery falls and thought this was gonna be pirated gravity falls clips
BaronZemoDisco
I need to get around to finishing that show.
Why ruin it with that staged shit at the end?
Nephus
Other than how hard he eats it, last one looks fake. He missed the very obvious cable, and who's recording on both sides?
yeah they are staged. The claim is they are setting up bait bikes but who doesn't notice 30 ft of rope. Paid stunt people.
RigoryMorty
They guys who set it up with the cable...?
Ketho
The obnoxious robbery.fails watermark is annoying though if it's not even their content
VeryStableGenius
Oh, that last one. I could hear the bucket at the very end.
DeeplyBroken
I saw one where the bike had a knife in the seat, would stab robbers in the taint.
Oh very not cool.
DrKenAdams
Didn't those end up being fake? Someone was paying homeless people to "steal" them for the LOLs.

Difference between burglary and robbery and theft?
Callistan
Theft - Broad term that encompasses any method of stealing property. Robbery - theft committed through violence or threat of violence. 1/2
2/2 Burglary - Entering someone else’s property purpose of committing a crime (usually theft, but could be murder, arson, etc.)
❤️
AnubisPriest
Burglary: entering somewhere to take stuff. Robbery: taking stuff using threat or force. Theft: taking stuff in a way that is illegal.
splud
Here at least, Burglary involved entering a structure. Taking something out of a yard != burglary, even if private property and fenced.
Burglary and Robbery are forms of theft where the means of committing theft add additional charges under the law. To be *very* brief.
#1 why didn't the doors open?
Some store doors have mechanisms that make them harder to open to prevent people from just charging thru them.
EpicMarble
Some stores have doors that lock upon closing, requiring the person behind the counter to buzz them out. #3 clearly has this, #1 possibly.
I think #1 is one of those doors that are really stiff so you can't just barge thru

It's slightly slowed down but also the mummy had been sleeping fools for a very long time at this point. It's the one you don't see coming.

Old Foreman's punches appear soft but have massive amounts of weight behind them.
VaultGirl69
All about follow through. My dad used to say, aim for behind their head/body, not just the skin.
Monkeyfighter
That's how I learned to punch the heavy bag. Aim for 6 inches past the outside of the bag.

Needed a zippo to throw in the van
therighteouspath
Bet hell carry matches in his pocket from now on
KenjiKando
Get one of those flip top lighters that stays lit. Toss it in the van.
Theyre called zippo lighters but ya, thats what i was thjnking. Depending on frequency, matches might be more economical
Yes, zippo lighters. I had forgotten what they were called, since I hadn't seen one in so long. Matches would be harder to toss, no?
Maybe if its windy but hes in range. Zippo can also close on u if u throw it too hard or it lands wrong before the flame ignites something.

Yes. With a house number in white paint written on it
imgurianese
People steal trash cans to illegally dump hazardous construction material like Lead paint and asbestos on old drywall. Then abandoned it.
MotherOfMonsters7
There's a lot of hunters where I'm from. My can disappeared, and the cust serv rep told me people steal them to make hunting blinds.
malachilenomade
THAT'S what I'm missing! A smelly, nasty, diseased hunting blind! (I don't hunt but had to say something sarcastic, sorry...)
Lol. That was my reaction as well.
That just seems like... A lot of illegal effort...
TheChandrian
But a lot cheaper than proper disposal. All it costs is humans ability to live on the planet. Zero dollars!
BisexualAtheistMinister
Lowkey wanna try that bike thing downtown
Do you like going to prison? Because in the US that's a great way to go to prison.
Just make a magnetic electric front brake that snaps on full lock if seat has weight and bike travels faster than X then gloat.
mommart
Might be considered entrapment? Plus, if they got seriously injured, could be no bueno
Sidewaysgts
Entrapment requires someone literally persuading someone to break the law that wouldn’t have done so otherwise. “Hey man, steal this bike..
And sell it for me. I need the money to buy food for my kids, I can’t do it myself I’m in a wheelchair”.
You just stealing something because it “looked opportunistic”? Not entrapment. Bait cars are a thing for a reason.
Oh my bad, I thought bait cars were entrapment. Kind of like when a cop plants drugs on someone. You know? Things that need to be fixed
wizardOTC
Careful in the us. If guy breaks his neck you might be on the hook for it. Booby trapping or something. I don’t know for sure, just careful.
TargunYssboern
It's not a booby trap, it's just a very long bike lock.
Marine0311
It's obviously designed to injure someone, nice try.
mrbitterness
Bike thievery sucks, but so does preying on the vulnerable.
stonecw
… and are bike thieves not preying on the vulnerable?
I’d wager a person desperate enough to steal a bike has probably spent their life in poverty, in the US,likely as result of systemic racism.
You say "desperate"; someone else might say "greedy." Stolen bicycles can be fenced.
nekuth
Wealth and race aren't the biggest factor in theft. People will steal if they think they can get away with it
According to what data? I work in criminal justice reform. I can assure you poverty is a major factor in petit crime.
And that makes it OK?
maybeamarecan
Are bike locks not a thing?
melmboundanddown
Is that not a bike lock?
No. It's clearly a trap meant to injure the thief.
GrimnLock
They hev portable electric bolt cutters that can cut through most sadly
I'm guessing it's all about sending a message. :^)
He wants to see the carnage.
Bikeage.
They just like the idea of harming people.
I believe it's the idea of harming what they consider to be the *right* people.
