Default Cyclist whose bike was stolen outwits thieves by stealing it back inundercover sting operation

A woman reclaimed her stolen bicycle from thieves after reportedly
executing a sting operation on a man reselling it online.

Jenni Morton-Humphreys said she spotted her £800 bike on sale on
Facebook, just hours after it was taken.

The 30-year-old then arranged to meet the seller, despite warnings from
police not to try and retrieve it.

What idiot pays £800 for a bicycle? You can get a car for less than that.

The days when I could only afford to pay 800 quid for a banger disappeared
many years ago.
Those days will never disappear for an unemployable lazy pikey such as
yourself.

Justice would involve some sort inconvenience for the thief, like a
broken finger.

No point in stealing bicycles, you can get them on freecycle. They're just two wheels and some pedals.
