He was due to attend court. So I suspect, only suspect, note, that they might already have had his details. :)

A man killed in a motorbike crash in south Manchester was a suspected thief who police previously refused to pursue because he was not wearing a helmet. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-11211260[^] "At the time, Greater Manchester Police said it followed a nationwide policy that motorbikes should not be pursued because of the higher risk of injury to the rider." Unbelievable! Everyone gets their just desserts so thank goodness some higher power intervened on behalf of our considerate police force and their overlord's crass instructions.
He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar!
Since when was theft a capital offence?

Yes, but were they aware of his identity before they had decided not to pursue him?

They pretty much must have been, then or immediately afterwards, because they were able to serve him with a summons for the incident.

I don't regard death as the right punishment for a bike thief. :)

I'm of the personal opinion that high-speed chases aren't warranted under any circumstances.
.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

What if he nearly ran me over on the footpath while escaping and when I yelled at him he showed me the finger...the middle finger that is?

You're right, such a course of action wouldn't give the scumbag enough time to think over his actions. Pliers and a blowtorch all the way! Bike thieves, aaargh (15 years and I still miss my LC350 :-( )

Its not but anyone stupid enough to risk riding a bike without a helmet doesn't deserve much, if any, sympathy for an injury suffered directly because of that.

Scrap the roadkill of the street when the guy crashes in another car.
Watched code never compiles.

Yeah I get that, but as I read it he crashed and burned a few days later - not directly as a result of the police not chasing him, or am I reading that wrong?
You are correct on that point.
