I have worked in a charity shop. Unfortunately, in addition to all of 
the nice people, these places also attract a few mentally ill, drunk, 
and drug addicted people.

If he refused to move his bike when asked, better procedure would be 
ignore him or contact the police, IMO.

That describes a lot of the people on Mill Road at the best of times.

Surely if they are on Mill Road then it is, by definition, not the best
of times?

Hello Guy - have you got the copy of the DfT letter yet?
How about substantiating your comment about me:  "since you've
previously lied about having contacted people"

which people were these then?

He then quickly changed his web page - but "forgot" to change the date

Apparently he only parked his bike outside the charity shop,
then went into the pawn shop next door.  One could generalise
about the type of person who goes into a pawn shop while in
an unstable mental state...
