But The Getaway Left A Lot To Be Desired...

Det Insp Cleland told the inquest the burglary using the two stolen quad bikes was 'quite well planned and executed' at the Go Outdoors branch on Newport Road in Cardiff.
They'd have got clean away with it, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids that train...
Cardiff coroner Miss Mary Hassell told their families: 'I'm very sorry for the loss of two such young men.'
Oh, dry your eyes, love. Britain's not exactly short of petty thieves...

    I think it's terribly, terribly sad. Just think of how much it must have cost to get the dents out of the locomotive.

    700-ton freight train at 60mph versus quad bike?
    No contest, as we now know!
    Thanks guys. Sorted that question for us all.

    Brian, never mind that: how much must it have cost the property-owners to clean the chav guts off their stolen property? They are the true victims here.

    I'd put signs up:

    "Quad bike escape route this way ---> "

    Not my fault if they insist on believing it.
