Talking Feel good story

At morning tea this morning everyone had a good laugh at this. It starts out a bit gory but has a 'happy' ending.

Is it just me or am I the only one who thinks the actions of the guy who had his bike stolen was incredibly dumb? What if the thief had life threatening injuries as a result of being impaled on the fence? By forcefully removing the stake from the thief, he could of inadvertedly caused the guy to bleed to death. He's just lucky it didn't. And then he punches him in the face and leaves the scene of an accident and not mention robs him, unbelievable.

Sounds like that guy is as much of an idiot as the thief is.

It Is wrong, that is for sure, but now the guy who did the damage to the thief might be thinking just that, but the spur of the moment may have kicked in when he saw his bike heading off into the sunset.

Well, if nothing else, I imagine the thief will think twice before nicking the next motorbike

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'
