monkey104 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Seen another one this week, ofo lock gone and cheap personal lock to stop others from taking it. Considering pensioners get free bus pass in this country young people should get free bicycles as well. It looks like they already have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be tempted to either let it's tires down, or splash out on my own personal lock to add to it. Then chuck away the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of superglue in the lock of the one they've fitted should suffice, cheaper and you get to use it on any others you come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron99 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So Ofo bikes are going to prosecute vandals damaging their bikes. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/firm-to-prosecute-vandals-damaging-yellow-bikes-in-sheffield-1-9172918 Good for them. I hope they're successful in their private prosecutions & take the offenders to the cleaners because in the normal course of events all that would happen to them is a stern talking to. Make them pay for the damage. I've seen one of the Ofo bikes this morning. Someone has chucked one over the railings at Lady's Bridge & it's now sat in a few feet of water.

Baron99 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Aye, good luck proving it. Well take the Lady's Bridge incident. Plenty of CCTV knocking about, on the streets, in passing premises, so whoever did it shouldn't be hard to find those responsible. A few private prosecutions with costs awarded to Ofo, should get the message across. ---------- Post added 23-05-2018 at 12:31 ---------- Have you reported it? Will do when I get home. I'll not bother with 101 though. Apparently vandalism doesn't seem to be treated as a crime anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
