These men are doing the lords work. Thieves deserve much worse.

Thieves suck, but so does leaving an unlocked, unsafe bike out in a public space.
Squidhatjenkins
As some one who was a victim of bike theft himself this is EXTREMELY cathartic.

And then they were sued

Replace catching with baiting. Good way to get sued when they fucking get fucked up

To be fair, sometimes, folks just abandon their shit, and you just want to claim dibs first. But I doubt that's what these folks thought.

If you watch their other videos, it's pretty obvious that their pranks are all faked.
Jupsu
It's pretty obvious even in this gif
HermanTheGerman71
Not sure about that. Plenty of bike thieves out there who "volunteer" their services.
longshorttermmemorynetwork
You start to see some of the same people from video to video. Also, too many miss extremely obvious things, like obvious cameramen.
WilwoWaggins
Have you ever wiped out on a bike at 20MPH? I wouldn't do it willingly, especially with no helmet.
mutedia
they're all paid to take the fall, watch their other videos, some of them know how to fall like pros, the rest want to make a quick buck
jimjam2
He was going about 5... and i bet i could tempt you with a nice bit of cash

The first one was. The second was much faster. It would take a lot of cash to offset a nice hospital bill.

YourFriendBen
This would be great if it wasn't staged, and the guys who are "pulling it" weren't such assholes themselves.
MacroManJr
Yeah, folks just take this stuff as real. I take it as reality TV brought to YouTube. Staged and guided setups with lucrative views.
jeandolly
Oh darn... my bike has been stolen like ten times. I so wished this to be real...
richy185
Yep, clearly staged.
YourFriendBen
I was fooled when these asshats were posted here before. Looked online there is plenty of (more than) damning evidence against them 1/2
YourFriendBen
There is another youtuber that goes out specifically to disprove these fake pranks. While looking into this, you see these guys are dicks.

It's not even convincing.

Tassyr
It's a deliberate trap, and someone could get seriously hurt. Lawsuits, anyone?
killbot9566
Well fuck em thieving twats also most courts would just throw the case out since it was intended to get criminals and not general puplic
adobesubmarine
That's incredibly untrue. Setting out to harm someone makes you liable for it, for better or worse.
RubyPorto
No, they wouldn't. In fact, setting traps is a crime in a number of states, even if they're aimed at criminals.
Tassyr
Baiting a trap like that is illegal, and if serious enough harm was done the court -would- uphold it.
middlehead
Theoretically, but the thieves have to find them first, and are unlikely to report a crime committed while they were commiting a crime.
adobesubmarine
From a practical standpoint, this might be the best argument against the fear of litigation, but it won't protect you from the rare case.
Tassyr
"Thieves have to find them first." "Hey, that guy's filming me and laughing his ass off! Oh hey, it's on youtube now!"
middlehead
You overestimate the reach of a random video on YouTube

That is going to be true in international relations, but it isn't always true in state and local laws. Booby traps are often illegal.

Not shown: running up and beating their asses after the bike falls apart.

They probably have no sort of aggression toward him, it being a gag. If it's your own bike, 0-100 real quick for sure

raidleadergutts
Entrapment is encouragement to commit a crime, this is just presenting an opportunity they had an option not to take.
jake96
Of course, if it is your bike, joke's on you for cutting your own bike in half.
ajellybean
Worth it
quizthree
It's a bike thief. They don't own the bike. Notice how they scan the area before getting on and STEALING it.
SaintPoop
that's why you put mustard gas canisters in the bike frame, put them down real fast and no threat later on

I've found an unlocked bike and returned it to the local police station. This is a shit prank.
LeadPrick
good luck getting it from the cops
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
You're an idiot. Someone probably just ran into the deli for a quick Sammy, and you made them walk to the police station, IF they found it
ButterfaceTaintClown
It was unlocked in a city centre for 3 days straight with flat tyres.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
That's an inportant bit of the story to include. At that points, I imagine it's abandoned the.

I don't know why I assumed everyone would just take it for granted I wasn't a scum bag.
welovfree
They did it with the Electric bait : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bN76TvJspY
WhyleKat
There's also one of them tieing the bike to the tree. But it turned out they're all fake and the "theives" are paid money to take the fall.
dannakala
They've done a ton of similar ones. Highlights include airbags, pepper spray, and no brakes on a steep hill
ThaEnder
"Prank in the hood" aka "Black people about to be fucked with".
UnknownSquid
"Thieves in a high crime neighbourhood about to be fucked with." Skin is irrelevant.
ThaEnder
All prank videos that take place "in the hood" feature almost exclusively black people. Not just these bait pranks.
MacroManJr
Shit looks staged. Just hire some Jackass-style stunt guys to make a YouTube video for views. Just like reality TV, YouTubers seek money.
katseiko
Why hire someone if you can get the real thief for free?
MagnorCriol
You can get actors to go the exact direction you want for the best camera angles and steep hill.
MacroManJr
Because in all the time you spend waiting for real thieves, you can already start getting money faster with views on YouTube using actors.
UnknownSquid
How much did they have to pay the actors that slammed their face into iron fence bars or took it hard into the tarmac?
MacroManJr
There are people doing that much for free, on YouTube.

Man, you could do a lot of mods to fuck up a bike theif's day. Like maybe remote activated brakes, so they go flying over the handlebars.

They did one with no brakes - same hill i think ????

One tied a thin metal wire around the tree and around the seat, thief picked up speed & then stopped on a dime. Well, the bike did at least

intashu
Technically they have to prove you intentionally did it to hurt people. Just Leaving a broken bike out isn't against the law!
PappaAlpaca
Katko v. Briney is an example where a trap was deemed unlawful. See p 36 here: https://h2o.law.harvard.edu/collages/2773#p36
intashu
See p 36?
intashu
In reality yes there are several lawsuits where the criminal/thief won a case.
Perkeleenretku
Proof's on video...
intashu
Proof you're watching your bike. There's no intent to harm.
fearandloathinginaz
Think of how many bike exist with no brakes... unreasonable to expect anybody to steal them and kill themselves.
intashu
Exactly!
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Not saying this is one, but booby traps are generally illegal under the thinking that someone (ex young child) might accidently trigger it.
intashu
It's the same as a bike with broken brake lines left at the top of the hill. It isn't your fault someone was stupid enough to steal it!
Qualtagh
I don't think the intent needs to be proven. Just that you set up something that had a solid chance of hurting someone. For instance, if --
Qualtagh
-- you have a pool with no fence and signs telling people to stay out, and a kid trespasses and drowns, you can be on the hook.
PossiblyYourMother
Chyuuuup after hearing about all of my moms stories as an insurance agent of 30+ years I totally believe this
whatsisname
A toddler and an adult bike thief have different standards of what constitutes criminal conduct.
Heysuckmybatarang
I remember reading that even if you have a "beware of dog" sign and it bites someone, you can still get in trouble for knowing its dangerous
intashu
If they break into your house and get bit.. Where do you draw that line?
Heysuckmybatarang
But I never got around to fact checking lol
MaladaptedMedic
Yeah, but this video is proof of intent to harm...
elizardo
Absolutely. I u
Beepity
This video's proof of intent to make bike thieves feel silly and fall on their bums, not to hurt them.
IshitOnWindshields
Falling leads to impale
raidleadergutts
Impale leads to hate.
MoonbuttTheGreat
If you impale someone, don't post the video?
GentlemanScientist
Well, I'd say laying in wait with a camera counts as "intentional".
intashu
Not intent to harm. Just intent to watch your broke ass bike for theft!
AbeoLogos
Disregard for consequences can be equivalently damning to intent to harm in criminal procedings.
intashu
If I removed the brake line from my car, left it in my driveway while I went to grad to parts and a thief steals my broken car and dies...
GentlemanScientist
The intent was to plant it in an unsafe neighborhood and film the thieves getting hurt. Two wrongs doesn't make a right.
intashu
But it makes a hilarious video that gains you lots of fake Internet points. I never actually said this makes it a OKAY thing to do!
