Re: Strangers sitting on your bike?

I have had this happen to me twice, both times were pissed idiots (bike parked outside a pub
)
The first time I went nuts & told the prick to GTFO, he got lippy so I dragged him off the side by his hair, unfortunately it was the brake side so the bike fell over on top of him, the good news is that the riders footpeg impaled the shitstain through the hamstring, he's on the ground screaming like a little girl & there's blood going everywhere, his head must have hit the ground during his 'fall' too, how else could I explain his broken nose to the Coppers? That had the potential to get messy with charges, civil lawsuits, etc. Thankfully it didn't & the drunk had to pay over a grand to fix my bike.
The second time was outside the Espy, I calmly & deliberately walked around to the brake side (bit more cleverer the second time) & clocked the guy a beauty on the jaw, his eyes went like a poker machine & he was out before he hit the ground - and the bike stayed upright... result!
Got a visit from the Plod the next day (security camera footage) the Coppers were both riders & sympathetic to my predicament ("We would have done the same mate") so they coached me with what to say in my statement & it was all swept under the carpet.
The way the world is these days if a scumbag fucks with your bike, knocks it over & damages it, you're fucked.
Coppers won't be able to identify the offender even if there is camera footage so they won't bother following it up.
Alternatively, you belt the prick, you get I.D'd by your No. plate & the Cops WILL charge you with assault, the perp WILL sue you for everything & he WILL win.
Given the options & knowing the consequences, I'll still hit first & ask questions later because any arsehole who thinks it's OK to get on someone else's bike obviously has no social concience & needs to be 'educated' as to what is & isn't acceptable in today's society.
