What would you do in this situation, I'd like to think I'd do more than just film it on my phone

Apparently shouting "gotcha" doesn't work with armed robbers these days!

I saw this on Granada reports - if someone had the balls to (very bravely) whip the keys out or at least hit the kill switch and run off that would have hampered the plot and maybe left the bike behind at least - no doubt someone's pride and joy stolen - nicked two wheels has now become the chosen illegal transport of many a skag...

he was a shit rider ! he stalled it twice …..wonder if they fell off on the escape …

in relation to what you would do ???? its tricky isn't it if he was to whip out a knife or gun ….having said that i recall one a couple of years ago were an old granny dived in and twatted a robber with her bag

Not worth your life for something that's insured. Was an armed robbery in Bolton couple of days ago lad intervened got his leg hacked with a machete for his troubles. Although I admire his bravery you just don't know what the crazy bastards are going to do

Crikey , that's bad ! This is what I'm saying too , they are usually so high on drugs they won't even remember trying to cut his leg off .... Then again if I was an ex SAS person .....I'd break their necks

A friendly umbrella or stick poked through the wheel could be an option.. if you were

I'd leave it to the police, that's what they're trained for (and what I pay them for).
Then again, my experience of police in this country would have me believe they'd arrest and interrogate me for being near the crime scene, and probably try pin the blame on me too. Arsholes!
