Bike wheel was stolen in public place.

If ever I'm feeling a little low this forum is my first port of call for a good laugh, never fails.

Or steal one OP, now you know where there is a bike rack with no CCTV :rotfl:

I can't believe so many people have responded seriously on this. Has to be trolling, surely.

Weirdly, it just seems like a complete misunderstanding of public vs private. When you park your car/bike in *private* they might put signs up saying they're parked at their own risk. The *private* place may even install CCTV to give the impression of security.

But would anyone really be daft enough to assume there's CCTV unless otherwise stated? Nah....ergo, trolling...

That's no common sense if you know beforehand that the council have a duty to protect the possessions of citizens in a public space unless otherwise stated.

I'm still wondering where this duty is set out in law? :eek:

Whatever happened to being responsible for your own actions. CCTV is irrelevant. You made a decision to leave your bike where you did, you made the decision to use inadequate locks.

Sorry but you are looking for a scapegoat to take the blame for your own actions.

If the council did have that duty, then surely there'd be no need to use a bike lock at all, because the council would be responsible for the bike. Why is it the frame is OP's responsibility but the wheels are the council's?
