I'm amazed at the gangs who steal bikes in broad daylight in the UK. YouTube is loaded with videos of them.

Bike thieves in the UK (NSFW - language)

This is when you need a shotgun that would sort them out.
Back in the late 70's when I still had my Bonnie I woke up the one morning to find my bike gone. As it turned out when I got to work and looked out the window there was my bike up on the hill with the thief working on it. Now the way the terrain was one had to go all the way to the end of the road I was in take the road up the hill and then double back down the road. I phoned the cops but he still got away, I did get the bike back but had to replace the ignition switch.

It's stunning how much bike theft goes on in other places and countries.
Here, where I am, it's not what I would call a "problem," but it does happen so I keep my bikes out of sight and well locked up.
I never let them sit outside for all to see. When I arrive home from a ride it's straight into the garage and the doors closed and locked.

Well back then bike just were never a target and the place I lived only had street parking.
These days if they can see it they will take it.

When I'm on the road I use disc locks and a bike cover overnight.
If I'm traveling with a buddy we lash the bikes together with security cables and locks, then cover them up.
It's easy enough to tell that it's a bike, but at least the cover doesn't show off what it is.
So far, so good.

That was just brazen. Obviously the hammer was a show of force and used as a weapon, so he has every intention of using it to achieve his goals. That makes him dangerous and will probably require deadly force to take him down
This is the UK and I don't think most cops even carry a gun but they do do this
