The ****ty ****ers who have trashed my wee 50cc scooter today for no reason.

Stolen from George Street in broad day light and abandoned 5 minutes walk away.

Bike half smashed as they hacked away the coverings (with an axe allegedly, that they threatened a passer with) to try and hot wire it.

Bike is not worth much, certainly not for joy riding on and is now probably toast. But it was a god send for me in terms of getting me about in town and is not easily replaced and no way will the insurance cover anything like a genuine like for like re the age v utility / life it still had left in it.

Now sitting in a bike parking bay all taped up in until I get a van to pick it up as, brilliantly, if the police had moved it for me it would have cost me, the victim in all this, £160.

Absolutely pointless crime that’s going to do nothing but cost me money and no little inconvenience. Gutting.
That's awful. Probably unrelated but seeing as this story happened in the City Centre I'm wondering if maybe this is more common than being reported. Read it the day it happened, what shocked me was how busy it must have been, they clearly don't care if they're caught.
