Of course the bike owner was wrong - and criminal. I expect the police will suggest to him that next time he is passing the courthouse he might like to drop in for a chat. If the story had ended the way it might it wouldn't be at all funny. But in the circumstances it does have a certain cartoon character to it. I have a mental picture of the bloke lying in the garden thinking things are pretty bad .... then the owner arrives looking very unhappy. 'Oh dear'
