What are you doing there, mate?
Heading home in Carlton this evening, I spotted a caucasian man, in his late thirties with a short, stout build, fitted into a dark coloured jumper and a black beanie (looking so classically burglar-ish), fiddling about with a bicycle parked next to a sign post. After handling the heavy chain for abit and studying the lock, (discounting the fact that I was practically staring at him) he figured it would be too much trouble cutting the lock, and walked off.
Very dodgy.
What would you have done?

Dodgy instead! I would have wanted to shout out "hey what are you doing there?!", but it might have been dangerous for myself if I were alone. :(
Anyway, which part of Carlton if you don’t mind telling? I live in Carlton too and I always lock my bike next to a sign post. Gotta be extra careful.
Dodgy *indeed*
I would have tried to be quick and snapped him with a camera phone.
I live along Bouverie Street.
Should be a little careful about parking next to sign posts. I’ve seen posts being lifted, bent and mutilated just to get the bicycles out.
As an owner of a very expensive GT bike, my first question wasn’t why he did it but:
"What bike is it? Hardtail? Full suspension? K-mart brand or awesome brand?"
:O
I don’t think anyone in their right mind would park anything above $1k of value at a sign post…
