Got Bikejacked - Stamford Hill - Recovered

Not quite the same but in the spirit of things.

The important bit

[arry]

The better idea would be playing the long game.

I know Architect wouldn't want to his bike used as bait, but they've robbed his bike then left it sitting a few days to wait for the heat to die down and see if there's a tracker on it.

There is; but they would assume there wasn't, if the bike was still there when they got back to it.

Easy enough to do this with another bike that doesn't belong to someone who needs it back....

Once you've got them on a bike fully tracked, you could play the long game - monitor and track locations, people, activities; build up a picture of their crimes and who else is involved. Then, once you've got enough people in the web, pounce and scoop them all up in one go.

So the courts can give them bail and ultimately, a stern tsk tsk and see you again next week.

It needs a top to bottom (ooeerrrrr) approach or else it's pretty much a waste of time....as it is now.

Less of the Septic cop shows with a raging hard on for "dirty hands" defences. Entrapment is not a defence in Englandish courts, see Regina vs Sang (1979) and the cases it cites.

However:

I'm pretty sure it doesn't cut out if the key goes out of range, it'll just not start again. At least that's how a mates car worked, he drove home, the wife got out of the passenger seat in to the drivers side and drove to her mothers. Mate had key and no car, wife had car and no key.

Imagine, battery in key goes flat mid corner, engine cuts out and possible slide/deaded time.

Looks like all you need is a chopping board

Indeed, had many a discussion on this with a mate who has a keyless ignition motor.

He insists it will shut off after it’s out of range. Will be really funny in summer when he parks it within range of the beer garden and we move it for him. 🤣

I'd be careful what you wish for. Some car keyless systems were so easily l0lh4xx3d that owners were being knocked back for insurance.

Given that it took Triumph about $RAINPAL_DELIVERY_SCHEDULE years to even add an immobiliser, how quickly do you think they'd respond to bikes being remotely jacked?

I can see the benefit of keyless entry on cars, but it's not such a big hassle to put a key in the hole and turn it.

Our car has this feature, if running it switches off when I get about 20m away. (i've tested it)It also warns that you've
got out with the key on you by means of an external bleeper. Still a good idea though for the most part.

The bike would probably stop however, scroat would just knock it into neutral and matey boy on his scoot would just push the bike along by the footpegs so no difference really. It would still get broken down for parts easily enough.
