Reformed character out early for good behaviour then, perhaps?

I dont think there is any evidence they successfully started it.
The accomplice on the scooter sticks his foot out, pushes hard on the Triumph frame and away they both ride.
(Should a copper challenge them , they remove a helmet and thats the immediate end of the confrontation as the policeman withdraws.)
Do you have the same issues in Fife Stuart, or is bike crime still mainly in the larger cities?

For a reasonably accurate portrayal of criminality in Edinburgh and Fife, tuck into some of Ian Rankin's "Rebus" novels
A stolen motorbike ran down a 10yr-old.................

"Police have renewed an appeal to trace the rider of a stolen motorbike involved in a hit-and-run which left a 10-year-old boy with serious injuries.
The boy was "mown down" by one of two motorbikes which went through a red light on a pedestrian crossing on Ferry Road, Edinburgh, at 18:35 on Saturday.
He is in a stable condition in hospital and was due to have surgery. "If you witnessed the incident take place, or if you have any information relevant to our ongoing investigation, then please contact police immediately.
"Your help could prove vital."
He added: "I want to reassure local residents and the wider Edinburgh community that we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness and will continue to conduct a thorough and professional investigation until the suspect is brought to account for their actions."
They might just prioritise bike thefts now??

. . . . . . . They might just prioritise bike thefts now??
I doubt that, they will be to busy issuing speeding tickets to biker mates who are doing more than a couple of mph over the posted limit. Its all about revenue collection nowadays, or didn't you know that ?? They don't collect revenue investigating bike theft, so they don't bother.A stolen motorbike ran down a 10yr-old.................
