    That’s pretty rough 🙁 I witnessed an attempted bike theft at Coburg station a few days ago. Broad daylight, bike locked up right in the main bike parking bit as you walk into the station, heaps of people around. Suddenly this kid across the road yells out, “OI! THAT’S MY FUCKIN’ BIKE!” He was with 3 mates and they looked like they were gonna run out onto the road (but thankfully didn’t because Bell Street). I looked and there’s this dude trying to undo the lock or something. He legged it and when the lights changed the kids came across the road and went to the bike. One of them said, “oh man, look what he’s done to your lock! You’re gonna have to call your parents.” Dude had obviously wrecked the lock in the process of trying to steal it and the kid couldn’t undo it. Bloody thieving is out of control!
