Rail Worker Stops Bike Thief, Stays 4 Hours After Shift to Return It to the Owner

Back in July 2020, Steve Farmer was on his way to work with his bike.

When Farmer returned at 6 PM, the lock was cut and the bike was gone.

I was gutted, Farmersaid.

I was annoyed that I had used a bad lock to lock it up with.

Thankfully, Farmer met with rail worker Abdul El-Gayar.

I heard the sound of a lock being snapped, El-Gayar explained, and I didn’t think twice.

I said: You’re not taking that back.

I couldn’t let that happen.

The thief eventually gave up and left, and El-Gayar took the bike into safe storage.

Our colleagues have been great throughout this pandemic, and we cant thank them enough.

El-Gayar stated, He said he couldnt thank me enough.

I was only too happy to helpI couldnt let a bike theft happen right in front of my eyes.

He shared, I have a bike and cycle to workI know what value they have to people.
