New threat in the UK

When riding I always carry a telescopic baton (illegal over here and the police call theirs an ASP for some reason) in a cargo pants pocket. I have used in anger at a couple cage drivers who decided they wanted the particular section of tarmac I was occupying for themselves.

Have been stopped by the police and explained it was an "adjustable pry bar" and also handy for emergency breaking of a car window if one goes off into the Fens around here (the Fens are a very flat area of land reclaimed from the sea in East Anglia) the roads will be dead straight for miles then suddenly do 90 degrees with no warning and as all them are accompanied by water filled drainage ditches there is always some chav in one.

So I'll take my chances spotty on his moped.
 
In PHILLY when you stop at a light they run out and twist your helmet around and steal your bike
 
Seeing as most of the guys I ride with carry guns, we would see to it that they had some FIRE to go with their extinguishers...

Haven't heard of this in the US but if you are trying to steal or harm me expect to get lead poisoning.
