You have zero luck man.
I'm inclined to travel round on my ped, extension bar in jacket and beat the kneecaps and necks of the scrotes that try to steal it. |

We need a BCF crew, someone to goad them, then a vehicle on fake plates to take them out |

Something along them lines or whatever would result in a good kicking.
You would think the bill could easily bait a trap as I am sure they know who these thieves are.
From what I can gather the targets seem to be other scooters or expensive bikes. I am probably all right on my old Suzuki but have taken to packing a big hammer in my tank bag whenever I ride through town. ____________________ Current Bikes: 2006 Suzuki Bandit 1200, 2008 Suzuki SV650N.

Why dont the old bill stick a police rider on a scoot followed by unmarked car full of baton wielding backup.
Then when they eventually strike, assaulting a Police officer in the first instance it's baton and CS gas time. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

^^^ This.
Just pulling up alongside 2 up, lidless, unlicensed, uninsured, on a stolen bike with no plates is a series of offences in
itself. Ride a scoot around London Bristol or wherever they are doing these crimes and they will come to you, no
need to look for them. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

This was me. The chap who rushed me was fast enough that he got to my key at the same time I did, even as I was sitting on the scooter. He was able to use two hands while I was using one to hold up the scooter.
You can't underestimate how shocking it is. It's such a disruption from your normal routine, you have no time to rationally think about stuff. It would have made more sense to drop the scooter, to fight over the key with two hands, but your normal mode is to keep your bike upright, and that's far more heavily trained than your response to assault.
In some respects the jacking failed because they had to circle around. But even if that had given me time to pull out a weapon and start swinging it around, what if they had pulled some acid out and sprayed it at me?
These guys have nothing to lose. Honestly, no bike is worth permanent injury or disfigurement. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

These are my personal responses:
* Prosecute people who are caught. They found my scooter and arrested a kid; I'll try and ID him and will give evidence if a case goes forward.
* Use a tracking device to increase probability of getting bike back if jacked again, with some luck the bike will be co-located with the offender(s)
* Do not resist jacking - the risks are too high; effectively use own bike as bait since police don't have funding for it
* Engage politically at multiple levels to increase attention; local MPs, Mayor, council, newspapers, etc.

I feel that would have something to lose, they don't want to me hurt or injured as it seems so easy for them for take bikes why would they risk pain when they could try someone else instead.
I totally bow down to your experience however, it is all very easy to say, a lot different in practice . ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.
