Fun trick! Don't try in America!

[–] gmtom 32 points 7 months ago (4 children)

If anything it would be easier in America.

Just shoot them the second they touch it. Even if they're running away with it and you shoot them in the back you will gey away with it.

But then you have to move all the time. A pile of bodies might scare off bike thieves.

Disclaimer: This post advises you to commit crimes. Do not take this post as fact.

Disclaimer pt.2: You may get away with it "in Texas, at night, and on your own property," but you have to hit all 3/3 of those, if you have 0/3, 1/3, or 2/3, you are also going to be prosecuted.

Alternatively, run over with car. You can commit any crime while in a car and get away with it. It's the law.

Do Americans even know how to ride a bicycle?

[–] riodoro1 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but they don’t know how to change gears.

Inexperienced, but possible. If only bikes worked the same way as America's best anti-theft measure: a car with manual transmission.

I remember there was some guy who installed spyware on a phone that couldn't be wiped off by normal means. Stuff that gave him remote camera access, location, file access, everything. Then he got that phone stolen and made a documentary about this dude's life.

[–] Zomg 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I remember that, he installed it as a system app and would persist through a factory reset

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think it was baked into the OS somehow (probably what you said). He disabled system updates as well so the OS didn't wipe. The only way it could have been removed was flashing the OS, but you'd have to find out it was there to begin with.

It's all fun and games till the person who stole your bike has a weapon, or is bigger than you and has friends with them

[–] papalonian 38 points 7 months ago (12 children)

I'll take $75 of my profits and buy a shit new bike whenever someone I can't beat up takes it

(I cannot beat up many people. I would not profit from this model.)

That's just robbery with extra steps.
AKA police work.

I understand the “kick a dude’s ass and take their wallet” part, but not why we need the bike with gps prelude

I believe there's a quote by "Taco" in"Better call Saul" along the lines of "I love robbing criminals, because they never go to the cops"

It's to make sure the victim deserves it.

Seriously, it's just mugging. The bicycle part is a whole separate issue, if you do this you're just mugging people. Same crime, same potential legal consequences, same potential for getting a sharpened screwdriver in your kidney.

The bike thief is probably less likely to go to the police? Idk

Enh, repeatable fetch quests are boring.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

It's a bounty hunting quest, though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Criminals can't call the cops...
