Steal a bike, get your ass bent.

Fuck bike thieves but this is almost attempted murder.

btw.. tiktok? that shit was 5+ years ago on youtube.. in a better quality

I could watch this guy take a concrete nap all day. Over and over.

Back in my day we had to try all our stupid stunts on ourselves. We didn’t have the internet to profit off of other people getting hurt.
noway10
That was violent.
CatBeagler
If you're going to steal a bike make sure you wear a helmet.
dortmunder
Not nearly violent enough
beziot
That's not good for the bike though.
atadrisque
should have probably left the bike alone
IsendDickPicsIfYouAskNicely
It's staged
SomeDetroitGuy
Probably shouldn't have booby trapped the bike
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
That's not a booby trap lmao

There's an alarming number of people who appear to be enjoying the fact that others are getting hurt because "mAyBe DoN't StEaL sTuFf". 1/

Thieving is terrible, and the thieves should see jailtime but these videos are staged by some sadistic fuckwads trying to get TikTok 2/

views or whatever. They're not the police placing an arrest. They're not vigilantes. And thinking that the filmmakers are the good guys 3/

in this case is absolutely fucked up. I tend to vibe with people's comments on Imgur but this is really disheartening to see 4/4
gradeD
Yeah, pretty much you said it well right there.
gradeD
Yeah you're right it is sadistic, it sucks! I don't want to see this bs proliferate anywhere.
gradeD
I'm gonna say, just lock up the fucking bike. No need to destroy the life of some poor hapless thief. Seriously, this trap is too cruel.
delecti
Also illegal, at least in the US.
Idontwantausernameimgur
I don't think it cruel enough. Don't steal!
gradeD
I not sarcastically would like to hear counters from downvoters.
popejubal
They like the cruelty. The cruelty is the part that appeals to them.
BananasHavePotassium
You not really the hapless one if you’re going around stealing. There’s a difference between being a victim and facing a consequence.
gradeD
Totally fair. My problem is this: if you're setting a violent trap, instead of just properly securing the valuable thing, that's sadistic, 1

and I don't like that sadism bs! 2/2

I hate people that steal shit BUT I sincerely hope someone sues the shit out of these people. One head injury away from murder

Teaches them not to steal that's for sure.

Horseshit! Just pricks making fun of less fortunates and doing physical harm
VresiBerba
No, it doesn't. And if you think this is for altruistic reasons, you're a fool.

That's my beef with it too honestly. Thieves suck, but this was staged by some sadistic pricks who wanted to hurt people, not teach them
TryNotToPanic
“Comin at you with a social experiment! We gunna leave unattended goods in an impoverished neighbourhood and see if people are desperate!”
SepiaSkies
Exactly this.
TryNotToPanic
For those below: these videos are effectively entrapment in how they try to entice people to do things that justify meting out punishment.
TryNotToPanic
It’s cruel. They could spend their time helping people instead of exercising power over people who could use the assistance.
TryNotToPanic
Hate these videos
Eldibs
I saw one once where they set up unattended merchandise with a jar for money. When they wrote "Honesty Jar" on it, almost everyone paid(1/2)

but when it had "Cash Jar" written on it, a lot got stolen. (2/2)

SomeDetroitGuy
In most places, that booby trap is going to get you a harsher penalty than the theft.
94theBest
most would be thieves are too embarrassed to sue
VresiBerba
Doesn't need to sue if it's illegal. All it needs is evidence who did it and you're busted.
THUB
Luckily, the perpetrator posted the video to Youtube
GondwanaCraton
It might be tough to prove it was a booby trap. There is no law against locking your bike up, after all. And the resources of the thief
GondwanaCraton
to try to sue are probably not very high.
VresiBerba
Right... try to argue that in front of a judge and he'll might just impose a harsher penalty.
nightbeaver
I would suggest the video itself is the evidence this is a trap.
GondwanaCraton
You mean the video intended to identify any potential bike thieves? Hardly a trap, nor at all illegal.
VresiBerba
Intended to identify a thief by baiting said thief into taking something that he couldn't take without it being bait? Entrapment is illegal.
nightbeaver
It seems to me the intention of the video is entertainment. Someone did add music to it.
ProChoiceBaby
Also, the cut front forks videos are real face planters.

If this is to bait thieves into taking booby trapped shit, you need to rethink your priorities in life, because that is psychotic.

Bikes are $200+

Wouldn't have gotten hurt if he didn't try to take something that wasn't his

Bike's are NOT 15, what world do you live in?

This was an unattended, unlocked bike. If you found a wallet on the ground with no ID in it, what exactly would you do?
Fadetoblack021
Funem10976
Take it to the Lost and Found, or the nearest Police Station? This might be all the money that guy has, or the guy can't afford a bike lock
ilikestuffsomeofthetime
So if someone leaves an unattended unlocked car i should fuckin take it cuz like thats just normal right?
GruncleDandy
Isn't that how most homeless people get things? They are left unattended/ trashed?
ilikestuffsomeofthetime
Trashed and unattended are very diff. "That person left their dog tied up while they went in that store. Mine now since its unattended" No.
GruncleDandy
Dog with a collar or with out on? Was this bike outside a store or placed random along a side walk?
TheSexInstructor
This speaks poorly about your character
SheldonCooperBSMSMAPSHandScDOMGright
So if something is unattended, it's just free game?
Winstitutionalized
Sometimes yes.
popejubal
Depends how desperate you are.
HiMyNameIsDavidAndILikeToParty
I wish people didn’t have to fight to survive but when you have almost nothing and no way of making it more people will do anything

Good chance this is illegal.

Kidnapping, false imprisonment, reckless endangerment, and probably a whole slew of other charges. Thieves are garbage but so are these ppl
ChuckZombie
100% chance this is illegal.....and thus fake.

fucked up. Then they'd park, and blare a train siren with huge speakers. Guys inside legit thought they were gonna get a train ran on them.

I feel like that one might be taking it a little bit far, legally at least.
kleverbluejones
definitely. let them get arrested and spend 40 years in prison! it's so stupid to laugh about teaching someone a quick lesson
astinus
Right? Especially since the guys setting up the Uhaul will end up doing serious time while the would be thieves broke no laws and walk
kleverbluejones
oh yeah, they know their rights and when they can sue. small claims, your dog bit me when I broke in yo house and I had to have rabies shot
vialofcorruption
Don’t fucking steal other people’s stuff
Yourmomshouz
In CA, especially SF these arent crimes
NeatoCompletoDuderino
I understand it legally. But I support thieves getting fucked. They're not stealing bread, they're stealing tvs and bikes. Get fucked.
LeakyBunghole
Agreed. If you’re stealing shit you’re a rat anyway and deserve it
generalprotectionfault
Uh no.
bootspooky
What did he steal?
Kagenical
Don't kidnap people: and illegally imprison them (remix) ft. boobytrapping things is also illegal.
ThisOldCPU
You'd skate on the kidnapping charge since they're trespassing. You'll still get the criminal confinement, though.
SomeDetroitGuy
Ha, no. Not even remotely. You're going to prison for a LONG time, they might get fined a couple hundred dollars.
LathiArcanus
In many jurisdictions, detention & restraint are allowed under citizens arrest statutes. Though the driving around bit is questionable /1
LathiArcanus
unless it's directly to the nearest precinct & you've called ahead, since immediate reporting is usually part of the requirements. /2
LeakyBunghole
They need to be taught a life lesson tho
valen00
That is why we have a police and judicial system.
SomeDetroitGuy
The kidnappers need the lesson more than the potential thieves.
RuchenUchen
I'd say that all parties involved are assholes and should be taught a lesson
Kagenical
Hey, I'm inclined to agree there.
swellguy18
People get so bloodthirsty when someone breaks moral code/social contract. Like, yes punishment is necessary and deserved but one crime >
swellguy18
doesn't justify another. And vigilantism is dangerous.
Smigions
Isn't this where one guy left a bike tide to a strong wire and wait for someone to try and steal it?
4goodsuccess365
No it's a ghost
Malikhi
Yes, you can see the wire coiling in the vid just after dude vaults over the bars. Dude tried to steal shit, got immediate justice.

Its tied to the bike seat you can see it after he "crashes"

smithincanton
You can see almost every one of them prep for the hit and the camera "men" aren't even hiding.
NeedtofavouritetheseWallpapers
Those badly staged videos where several are hard prepping for the incoming tug, yea, one shoulda been enough but they kept doing them too.
toadofthemint
Yeah, with expertise obtained from ‘stuntmen react’ YouTube videos on corridor digital channel, that’s a stunt fall. Cunning stunt though.
tennessine
I suppose we understand staged differently. For me staged for the filmers, but not staged for those who took the bikes.
NeedtofavouritetheseWallpapers
No, staged in the sense that, the bike takers are in on it.
Blud4BludGod
This guy doesn't look in on it. No bracing, wrecks his nuts on the bar, bad fall that hyperextends his back... I don't like thieves but...
Blud4BludGod
...this is an unacceptable thing to do to someone. It's fucking disgusting seeing people jerk it in the comments to this
NeedtofavouritetheseWallpapers
This one in particular is a coin toss but there are a ton where the alleged stealers are obviously bracing for it.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
It would be a a boobytrap and possibly a felony, plus you would be successfully sued for all real and imaginary injuries sustained.
SirSmurfalot
Justice is a commodity bought and sold by the wealthy.
DonKeydic
Just here to point out that boobytrap spelled backwards is partyboob.
MrPhixion
Calm down America
socloseyetsofa
It's not a booby trap, it's my extra long bike lock. In case I need to lock it to something really large.
CatOnFire
Better beat the shit out of the bike thief while he’s down. He can’t talk to cops if he’s in a coma.
Vaenaemoenen
Your bike matters to you that much that you would beat someone into coma? Did you even understand what you said?
ITradeNewds
Just to put jt out there, what criminal is going to go to the cops about it.
IAmNotNSAsodonotbeparanoid
Provide sources please
DeathLemons
Tying up your bicycle is not a crime
feldemon
No it isn't, disguising the rope/chain in a non-obvious way could easily be classified as a booby trap.
Mooselover2000
Neither is swinging an axe. Unless there is a person in front of you
OmgOptimized
I think this is the kind of thing where your words matter a lot less than what the court thinks of your intentions.
DocWino
Correct, it is not. Making a booby trap out of it is, and you’ll be responsible for injuries.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
With intent to cause great bodily harm it's likely a premeditated felony lol. Videoing the process and posting it on TikTok lol.
temposaur
I'm pretty sure they were staged
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Maybe there's a county in Texas where you get away with it, but not in most of the civilized world. Law doesn't work like that in reality.
Mrbrown512
Well you may get away with it here but you’ll also probably get shot
feldemon
In the US booby traps as something designed to cause physical harm by interacting with it. If this isn't fake it easily could clarify as one
ViSynthy
In one of the most progressive cities in the country, a cop almost wasn't punished for blatant murder of a minority. With video evidence.
Vaenaemoenen
So it was a cop who filmed and shared this on TikTok?
Jhaza
You're right, the police could absolutely get away with this.
SisyphusLivinLife
That's a special privilege the police have and something that's been protested. Still doesn't change how the laws effect others.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Pretty sure it's staged. Like the dude in the gif knew it was coming. It's obvious.
melmboundanddown
What you think this dude is willing to break his face for Internet points and likes? Look like an influencer to you?
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Money.
FuturamaIsAlwaysRelevant
Obvious, huh? This dude got his face wrecked
TheOneWhoSucks
Looks like he's got some padding under the shirt. It looks almost like it's inflated from the layers underneath. I buy "staged."
TheOneWhoSucks
Jeans, too. Pause and look at that first frame of his outstretched leg. Even bulge and odd cuffing from the padding underneath.
MrWobblyHead
You have to admire the commitment he put into it though. Knew what to expect. Must have hurt all the same.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Must've been paid to take the hit.
TakeTheStairs
what about that horrible bail makes it seem obvious that its staged? guy just totally eats shit
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Money.
TakeTheStairs
i think you miss understood the question...
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Wrong reply. The guy puts his feet down before the cord reaches its limit. He was prob paid money to eat shit. $50 goes long with the poor.
ekimike
Aren't there like several people that eat it trying to steal the bike? I had no idea it was staged.
ekimike
https://youtu.be/njT_qxTVVpg
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Two of them lean into it right before they crash. They also didn't notice the guys recording them laughing? Seems staged.
ekimike
Yeah that seems like a red flag.. I think some of them might be genuine. And if they are, feel bad for those fellas
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
It's illegal to booby trap a bicycle.
kappalouie
Lies. What law is it?
lokibringer
I'd look it up, but I'm two tired
TwoCheese
And as we all know, folks don’t do illegal things
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
They usually don't record themselves doing the illegal thing. Usually.
texasdean
It’s also illegal to steal a bike, doesn’t stop people from doing it.
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
But they don't record themselves stealing the bike.
