We’ve just been sent this video showing two criminals attempting to steal a motorcycle in London earlier this month – before being bested by a bloke in a Fiesta. It’s the best video we’ve seen in a long time.

While the two criminals are fiddling with the bike a bloke pulls up in his Fiesta and asks them what they’re doing, resulting in one of the criminals threatening him with a hammer and beginning to attack his car. Diving back into his motor, the driver shoots off out of harm’s way as the bike thieves get back to work. But that’s not the end of it – in a brave move, the Fiesta driver chose to throw his car into reverse and chase the criminals down, smashing into their moped, and forcing them to run off into the distance. Top man.
