Police 'Steal' Bikes to see if Public call 999

As per a report:

Police in Cambridge have staged a series of bike thefts on video to demonstrate just how easy it is for a genuine thief to walk off with a bike without being challenged or even reported. The ‘thefts’ were staged in fairly busy public places in the city, and while the video shows plenty of people close to the ‘thief’ or even watching him, nobody even called 999.

The police have warned cyclists to use good quality locks and to lock their bikes securely to solid objects. And they have appealed to the general public to alert the police of suspicious behaviour. According to the police, 2,100 bikes per year are stolen in Cambridge.

Many are not locked at all, locked with inadequate locks or have a lock round the frame and a wheel but not a solid object. In the video, a ‘thief’ wheels away a bike with a lock around just its rear wheel and in another sequence cuts a lock with a pair of bright orange bolt croppers without being challenged.

Where Dead are Stealing Power

Yes, It can happen only in India. Even the dead are said to be stealing electricity here and they have been accused of it. As per a report:

During a special drive against power thefts in Bihar, electricity department officials lodged a police complaint against Singhasan Choudhary and Ram Nagina Singh of Parari village in Rohtas district for stealing electricity last month. 

A police team that visited the village was stunned when villagers told it that both Choudhary and Singh had died long back. "While inquiring into a power theft case, we found two dead people were made accused in the case," police official Abhinandan Kumar Singh said.

According to police officials, the case was lodged on the basis of a statement by the electricity department's junior engineer Ajay Kumar Singh last month. Police officials were given copies of death certificates issued by the village panchayat. The certificates said Choudhary died in 2000 and Singh breathed his last in 2004. 

"Ajay, in a written complaint, submitted to the police, said he had visited the village along with four other employees and found Choudhary and Singh were consuming power without any authorised power connection," police said. In view of rampant power thefts, the state government constituted a Special Task Force and vigilance squads for special drive to check it.

'The Ultimate Thief' as a Russian Man Arrested For Stealing Entire Road

This one can be called "The Ultimate Thief" as a Russian Man has been Arrested For Stealing Entire Road. As per a news report:

A man has been arrested after apparently stealing a complete stretch of road in a remote area of Russia. The man stole 82 reinforced concrete slabs that formed the route from the village of Parcheg in the republic of Komi to the Vychegda River, the RIA Novosti news agency reported. 

 It is thought he used an industrial manipulator - a machine that is both a bulldozer and forklift - to dismantle the slabs. The pieces of road were then loaded onto three trucks which were later intercepted by police. The stolen slabs were worth about 200,000 rubles (£4,000), according to Russia's Interior Ministry.
