Coming home the other night past the Portakabin place, just after the railway bridge on Waldram Park, walking along with my shopping.

3 young black lads on bikes, 1 BMX, 1 mountain bike and 1 racer rode along the pavement, at a fair pace, nothing horrific.
As they got to me, the boy on the racer sped up a little and purposely kicked the bags out of my hands, scattering the shopping across the pavement.
He rode off laughing.

I shouted after them (abuse if im honest) to try and provoke a reaction to get them to come back, but they rode off.

Stupid I know, but I went home, got one of the dogs and went for a "walk"
I found them again outside the Co-Op, on seeing me they ran away, up through the subway. I caught up with them again at Forest Hill Station, and again sadly there were not in the mood for a chat and ran again.

However as I passed through the subway I noticed a man exiting with shopping bags, adjusting his grip on his bags and looking back at them. So I am guessing they messed with him too.

So if you see 3 lads on bikes, watch your back, and yourself.

Not the right thing to do I know, but I am confident they are local and that our paths will cross again.... I will be having words. Not a fight or violence, just to tell them about themselves and to show that they cant just expect people to take that sort of behaviour.

Watch yourselves out there guys
