Can we get an early entry to the criminal justice system for these oxygen thieves?

Judging by results on the internet, this particular BMX must 18 carat champagne paint. ^$6k is a ridiculous price when around $1500 is the norm for top of the line units. Sounds like an insurance scam…but if it wasn’t insured, then they had it coming anyway.

I’ve seen complete Wethepeople BMXs priced around $1,500 in retail stores. It’s conceivable that a bespoke bike or a limited edition could reach $6,000.

As for the bike lock comment… who takes a BMX to a skate park just to leave it locked up? It’s more likely the kid was knocked off his bike before it was stolen. It might have been a good idea to use a bike lock to chain the bags up to something while the kids were enjoying the park, though.

Make ’em lie down in the skate park while some large, inept bstard like me tries to jump over them on a bike.

I think they’ve snuck an extra zero in the value of that BMX bike.

I mean, I know the Canberra economy is fskcing crazy, but even in Canberra nobody would pay $6k for a BMX bike.

My thoughts exactly. But it doesn’t matter how much the bike cost, some arsehat stole it, and that person deserves a good flogging.

Hmmm… then why the comma in the quoted figure?

And why no $12 bike lock for a $6K bike???
