Ethical Question For You All.

My sister's boyfriend was on the corner of Manners Mall and Victoria St the other day when he saw a cyclist ride up and wrap his bike lock around one of those big black bollards. Of course it would be very easy to just lift the bike lock chain and make off with the bike.

Now, if you were to teach this guy a lesson what would be ethical and what would be too far:

Just lifting the bike lock chain so when the guy comes back he realises how stupid he was?
Taking the bike and handing it in to the police?
Just making off with it, he was stupid enough to not lock his bike properly?

Also, any other options?

I know a girl who did this. Goodbye bike.
 If he is that worried write him a note and stick it to the bike. Maybe the guy was in a hurry and didn't notice his error. 
Maybe he put the lock through the wheel as well making it impossible to ride?
To sum up the ginger eejit has the right idea.

I can see the scene:
 
PC Plod: 'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, what have we here?
 
Idiot friend of Critical Lemon's sister: a bike.  I stole it to prove how easy it was to steal.
 
PC Plod:  f**k off you f**king c**t.  You left some poor c**t standing in the rain, crying about his w**king bike being nicked to prove a point?  What a twating c**t.  If I was off duty, I would slap you right in the f**king bell end, before fully inserting my trunchon in your a hole.  Stupid prick.
 
Idiot friend of Critical Lemon's sister:  oh............Critical Lemon's internet friends told me to do it.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Aren't you a fan of the ACT Party? The party who advocate personal responsibility over external intervention?

I'd pop the tyres.

No particular reason - just for sh*ts and giggles.

Buy a new lock and lock it to a power pole.

Superglue the whole lot to the bollard then laugh your arse off as he attempts to free his bike

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Hang a sign that said "Free Bike" on it, sit back and watch the gold unfold.
