I'm sorry but I'm not believing this and here's why,
1. What sort of thief would use an app to confirm someone has a bicycle and how would they know it was worth any money?
2. Most thieves are opportunists, why would you go to some street or area you don't know in the off chance the bikes are not securely stored?
3. Failsworth is next to Moston and Newton Heath, both are scrote area's with a high percentage of thieves anyway.
4. Who in their right mind shares their location publicly?
Can we please keep the sensationalism to the daily fail please?
