Bicycle and E-bike thefts have soared in major metropolitan areas. Bike thieves who are caught red-handed are often given a slap on the wrist and released.

One crime fighter rigged an ingenious booby trap to deter bike thieves. A viral video shows what happened when unsuspecting bicycle thieves tried to steal a random bike.

The video shows one thief jump off the bicycle and roll around on the ground in obvious pain. Other hapless bike thieves reacted similarly.

The booby trapped bicycle was very effective. Bike thieves will think twice after viewing this video.
