There’s a special place in hell for bike theives… and woe betide any asshat I catch trying to steal my bike… it’s curtains for him! As Dave Chapelle (I think) once said “Charlie Murphy, you got knocked the f**k out!”!
I DID catch one trying to steal my bike once. Luckily I was coming out of the store at just the right moment and he ran away rather quickly after I took my bike chain out of my bag and started making a little swinging motion with it as I walked towards him.
We’ve tried that most U-locks are enough wide and long to lock an average man to a pole by his neck without doing harm.
Just imagine catching a thief with your friend, and locking him up ’till the police arrive.
@Drew – Maybe the point is that bike theft isn’t funny, ever?
This is a case of ‘stupid crook syndrome’. He shoulda said “Lost the key to my lock, man” or something like that, and Yehuda might have helped him ‘unlock’ it. Yehuda is definitely old school, though, and probably get sued by the crook later. Joe would have called the cops on his cellphone/bluetooth.
Not only have I had bicycles stolen, but I have “stolen” my own bicycle at least once when I had forgotten my keys. A good punchline would have been (from the mouth of the theif) “but it’s MY BIKE!”
Lighten up, guys! It’s a comic strip! I know we’ve all felt like doing that, and that it would be poetic justice for the thief. Yehuda is just acting out our fantasies.
So… the fuzz show up. WHat’s the rap for stealing a bike? Nearly nothing. What’s the rap for bashing some dude’s head with a heavy piece of metal?
Sad… but there it is.
Yehuda needs a new lock because he used his to lock up the almost stolen one.
Ever feel the weight and hardness of one of those U-Locks? It’ll knock you out right enough…

Fun times..
Perhaps Yehuda could have found a non-lethal way to stop the bike thief, perhaps even a humorous one?
That was humerous… Well I laughed.

well, he was holding it by the bar, not the U end. If he was holding it by the U end, that would put the BIG hurt on him.
Wrong, look again!
