[Closed] Quite a night-bike stolen, junkie thief found, bike back home

Sweet result. Enjoy your beer. 👍

You caught a bike thief, living the dream!

Nice one Kenny
Don't leave it outside again though mate

They will be back for it today, a night in the cells with no heroin makes for a grumpy (doesn’t give a monkeys) addict.

You are not deluded to think that they will lock them up and throw away the key ?

Top work !!

Funny there are always stairs around when someone catches a thief.

This is Galloway justice we're talking about here.....

Glad you got it back. Perhaps small towns do have some advantages.

20+ years ago we had a break in at the outdoor centre. They stole all the (then new and expensive) energy saving bulbs we just had a grant for...
Police just drove to Kirkcudbright, walked into the open door (no-one locked things then, I mean who needed to?) of the main smackheads house and found a box of bulbs sat on the kitchen table. Same again, he ran down road and a police officer tripped him over, resulting in some gravel rash. Shame.

I bet it's same chap....! 🤣

Doesn't happen like that in our town (fishing community), as soon as he's out of police custody/hospital and shows his face around town he'll either be back in hospital pretty quickly (damn stairs) or he'll be kindly asked to leave and not show his face again.

I've lost 6 friends (fishermen, none were thieves) from the town to Heroin OD's over the years and i can name another 10 odd folk that O'D from the area so i'm well aware of the lure of addiction but this thieving wee scrote has pretty much the entire town against him now so there'll be a queue of folk lining up to give him a kicking, hope i get first dibs.

Local junkie up in Ayrshire must have fell from a great height and landed on his knee caps after local pub was broken into.

Glad you got your bike back. Small communities and the gossip circuit do have their benefits.

Just be aware, Ayrshire junkies are known for knives now as they're sick of getting battered.

A Hummer, as in Cove?

Glad you got the bike back, but I hope you haven't just hinted at committing ABH on social media

What area are you? Pm if you'd rather I'm looking at moving up there n more info i get the better.

good result.

Better get in before the local centipede otherwise there'll be nothing left....

pm'ed you duncan.

Cheers all, I've realised my Alpkit Gnaro bar bag containing a rapha pouch with co2 canisters/silca tools and allen keys is missing so i'm away up to the junkies flat to retrieve them, shouldn't be too long but just my luck it's up two flights of stairs so it'l take me forever to climb them, Godamn stoopid bloody progressive MS.

Still....look on the bright side.....at least i can ride my bike over the town to get to the flat...should i take a lock yes/no/take big stick instead?

OOOH.....a reference to the Wee Kirkcudbright Centipede?, well done for unearthing that wee gem from my childhood, i remember listing to that on my grans record player back in the 70's

It's OK there's plenty of time. It takes the centipede ages to put his boots on.

I hope they thought they were NOS canisters and have been inhaling lung fulls of CO2 instead.

Just make sure he doesn't fall over showing you out the door.

Just back from my trip across town and i can't get into the junkies flat as it's currently being raided by quite a large number of police, (two vans and one car), the police know my alpkit bag is missing so if it turns up i'll get it back. Apparently there is was quite a number of junkies in the flat as they had been on a mini thieving spree last night in the town and the flat was full of other stolen goods, i counted 4 junkies in various states fighting with each other in the van and more being led/dragged downstairs, this is all quite exciting.............no...it's not really but you know what i mean....its usually a very sleepy wee town where nothing ever happens so this will be a major talking point for months.

You got off lightly. I had to perform it in a school show,  aged 7 , with 30 other kids under a huge green sheet, wearing green tights and a green swimming cap, like some unholy conga.

Scarred me for life that did.

Just be aware, Ayrshire junkies are known for knives now as they’re sick of getting battered.

Where are you getting this from? The Daily Mail? Daylate Record? Sound smade up, Knife crime statistics are on a par with the rest of Scotland, ie way below England.

Didn't realise this was you, and that we share friends. Glad it came back to you- all the best.

Hopefully the van full will not come back.

The 3 junkies that used to roam our village had knives, it was well known.

Oh well, one village, that must be representative of the whole county then eh?...

IME of junkies and thru work I have met a lot they are weedy scardy cats. Easily scared off and not prone to proper violence. Neds on the other hand.............

Ah ffs, I usually like your posts but now you're just being argumentative.

It was just a heads up that some junkies are not afraid of carrying knives not too far away.

Apologies if that came across that way mate, I get a bit defensive of our area, too easy for folk to be down on it.

As a quick aside this junkie in question did have a knife, a 4” opinel lock knife ( which the police have) but I had a golf club so............

And I’ve just had my alpkit gnaro bar bag returned with all my tools but minus the co2 canisters and inflator, so I guess they made the mistake of thinking the co2 canisters were nitrous oxide 🤯.  I think 6 were arrested as there was quite an amount of stolen goods at the flat, well done to the local police for sorting it out so quick and the town is quite buzzing with talk today, like I said quiet town so this’ll do the rounds for weeks to come.

No worries nobeerinthefridge.

I get defensive of the shire too. It'll always be my home.

I drove from South of England to calm my brother down. The village junkie was seen peaking over house fences on my mum and dad's street then the house was broken into when they were away. It may have been coincidence but my sister in law told me to get home as my brother was driving the streets looking for him. We all new this junkies reputation and she was worried.

If you don't mind me asking, where do your folks live CK? There's so many wee villages around that I remember being nice places as a boy, hell my granny lived in New Cumnock and I thought it was awesome, running about the bing or the glen, then the pits shut, and the rest is history. Makes me sad when I drive through it now....

I won't tar the village by name but it's 6 miles from cumnock. It's one of the nicer villages but I may be biased!

My whole family is from cumnock or Auchinleck. Used to spend the summer holidays at my grans in netherthird when mum and dad were working.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great area and community on the whole but just like everywhere else it still has problems.

Sorry for hijacking the thread somafafunk. I've got family in CD too so have a soft spot for kirkudbrightshire. Prob spelt that wrong.

Am I the only one imagining this conversation?

"I've  got a knife"

"That's not a knife......THAT'S a knife"

"That's not a knife...that's a golf club"

"Ah Ha! I see you've played knifey-golf clubby before!"

Am I the only one imagining this conversation?

“I’ve got a knife”

“That’s not a knife……THAT’S a knife”

“That’s not a knife…that’s a golf club”

Lol 🤣

Going by some of Soma's past rants on here, I wouldn't fancy being the recipient of that 5 iron.

FORE!!!

Only an amateur would take a #5 iron to hunt thieving junkies 😉, I took an old “Calloway Great Big Bertha Titanium (obviously) Driver”, I was very restrained though, only took one full defensive swing which made pretty decent contact with his upper arm and knocked him flying down the road after that it was a simple matter of appropriate restraint between my brother and myself till police arrived, who’d have thought junkies can squeal exactly like a pig 🐷 ?.

You should have kept your left arm straighter, cocked your wrists a bit more and kept your head down until  your right shoulder naturally lifted it in the follow through.

You could have got 10 extra yards.

That's actually quite close to the truth martin, I've got the 6 missing front teeth (now all implants thanks to this 12 years ago)

perchypanther : Unfortunately i'm not a golfer (my brothers old clubs, picked up earlier in day from mums garage to sell) so i probably made all sorts of beginner mistakes from stance to grip position to follow through, not bad though considering i'm a beginner with a secondary progressive multiple sclerosis handicap (ta...boom...tish).

I made a joke....i made a joke......!!!

.....And a fine joke it is too.

One wee tip though...I always find, when posting jokes on the internet, that the humourous impact is often somewhat lessened when you  tag it onto a picture of  your serious facial injuries.

That looks nippy.
