Yeah nah good on him but why's he got a rental e-scooter in his shop? Bet it's those lime things cluttering up the footpaths. Typical Wellington council letting it happen.

100%. Hardworking Kiwis always having to clean up after others.

mate I had a bike stolen last month and cops did nothing. This guy's smart using GPS. Bloody sick of thieves getting away with it down here.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T06:36:22.000Z

same here. GPS trackers should be standard on all expensive gear imo

Love seeing a small business win. Hope he gets his stuff back and the thief gets a hearty dose of karma 🙌

bit sad that we need GPS trackers to protect our own property now. What's this country coming to.

wait so he woke up at 2am cos of an alarm and chased them? absolute legend

James O’Brien2026-07-21T07:25:22.000Z

yeah man, he actually did. Would've been scary though at that hour in the dark street

still don't get why rental e-scooters need to be locked up in a bike shop. just another sign of how broken the system is.

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T07:02:22.000Z

ffs the real crime is the state of our justice system. Bet the thief gets a warning and Ryan's out $10k

Ben Sullivan2026-07-21T07:10:22.000Z

cops are useless, you're right. Good on him for taking matters into his own hands

Stuff2026-07-21T07:57:22.000Z

typical. slap on the wrist and they're back at it next week
