Any chance we might give GSOC a little timeout for a couple months, let’s say till the new school year, and just let the gardai do their jobs the way they see fit?
Them Ukrainian lads are good at flying drones, may put them to use
All of these bikes are going somewhere. Surely it’s not beyond the wit of the Garda to put a tracker in a bike and let it get stolen then follow it up the chain. If you take out the bigger players the street level gougers won’t have a market for stolen bikes and won’t steal so many.
Who’s buying them?
Genuine question… do these teens continue stealing as adults?? I feel like these habits don’t go away that easily
“We’ve done nothing, and we’re all outta ideas!!”
If my car or bike was stolen every 3 hours, I would strongly consider moving elsewhere
I’m going to suggest using a bait bike/ car, stealth and hammers.
It’s probably a waste of time but I’m posting it anyways. In my opinion that out of control theft and anti social behaviours has a long history of developing itself under protection of law or lack of law and prosecutions. Let’s start from the fact that policing in Ireland isn’t very crime prevention oriented. Garda uniform holds no respect for thugs and garda themselves tend to avoid places where crime could be more prevalent, for their own safety. At the end of the day thugs win. They in majority are minors wandering the streets looking FOR an easy prey knowing that law protects minors knowing that nobody can touch them without consequences. Vicious circle it is
At least with the cars there is some hope of actually stopping them.
Garda are told not to engage with motorbikes, so its basically a free pass once the motorbike is moving.
However they operate so blatantly in public, the Garda could and should be engaging at the theft stage.
Yeah but the cara are banned from the city centre and we’re promoting public transport….. so there?
Will we ever get tough on teenage crime?
Was chatting to a guy last week who part rents garage down a lane way.
He got a call @ 3am to say there was a fire.
A battery of an e-bike exploded.
There were 3 e-bikes along the wall of the lane way….all destroyed.
He said there were a few e-bikes in the garage as well.
He said they all belonged to a guy currently abroad who had been asked many times to take them away.
The guy said he was waiting on the Guards.
As I walked away….though to myself that the bikes were all likely stolen and hoped the Guards would asked some questions about them.
Could you show us what they’re selling for the 100 years of Irish rugby?
My car was robbed outside my house and it was like they knew who it was but just not bothered to get them as they too young nothing would come of it. So frustrating what’s the point then they have no deterrent!
Probably mostly bikes.
8 thefts of a car or bike each day – in a city of over a million, with around 700,000 registered vehicles – is remarkably low.
But “every three hours” sounds far more dramatic.
It’s out of control. Saw one of them on the ifsc quays on monday lunchtime, no helmet, racing up and down pulling wheelies, stopped outside salesforce to check out parked up motorbikes …
If it’s happening that frequently then surely the gardaí could set up some sting operations, particularly if there’s a few hotspots for theft around the city centre.
Build a new prison and fill it with these cunts.
No suspended sentences.
Rob a bike – 5+ years
Rob a car – 7+ years
Rob a house – 10+ years
Could the Gardai not just set an alarm five minutes before each three hour mark and then wait for it to happen.
My bike got stolen from my balcony 20m above ground. Fuckers were so fast. Even the guards thought it was fucking hilarious.
When you can blatantly rip around on a stolen motorbike with your pal on the back, no plates, no gear, no tax and no insurance while guards scratch their arses and watch (they don’t have the powers to do anything else), it sends a certain message.
A person I know got his bike stolen. He called gardai, but after 3 weeks, there was no response. He loves that bike, so he went around his place driving and saw someone driving on his bike. Again, called gardai and nothing. So he did what everyone should do, went back the same route, saw the kid driving the bike, and drove around until kid stopped, he approached asked where you got the bike and kid was being a dick, my friend slapped him so hard he saw stars, took his bike loaded in car and drove home.
Garda does not catch them because there are no consequences. Why would you waste your time catching a young scumbag if the justice will do nothing to them?
You need first to tighten the law, make the parents lose their social benefits and etc, or something like that. If you are not going to arrest nor make them lose money, that will continue to happen.
Thanks Nolan!
Imo dublin has gone downhill massively. Its not a wildly huge surprise.
I was showing my parents round Dublin about 10 years ago and we were being followed until I turned round and stared the guy down.. had a massive apple in my pocket and had visions of having to throwing it at his head.
Lucky he got the hint
The UK has this problem, in 2016/17 crimes committed by people using mopeds was nearly 20,000.
In 2018 they decided cops are allowed to ram them off the road.
Moped crimes dropped to 9,000 the following year.
The criminals in the UK knew if they were on a bike they could do whatever they wanted. Once the cops started ramming them off the road they started to stop.
It’s still a problem but only real nutters will try it now which means if the cops seriously injure them then it’s a win win because they will prob be too broken to commit anymore crimes even if they only get a couple of months or years in prison.
Thats all we need to do, give the Gardai permission to wreck them. It’s the only way otherwise the crime will keep rising and rising year after year because they know the gardai can’t touch them.

I’d say it’s much more frequent than that.
