They made hot Ben angry.

No one makes hot Ben angry.

Less than an hour ago, some charming lad in a white beanie decided it would be a smart move to lift someone’s bike from outside the @huskiesagency office in Portview House, Ringsend [Dublin]. Big mistake.

By the time he’d made it over the East Link bridge and stolen yet another bike, our very own hero Ben [in the office] was in pursuit.
We witnessed Ben chase this guy up the quays where they disappeared from view… there was a bit of a showdown, and less than one minute after Ben emerged victorious and plus one bike! He even managed to keep his Christmas Hat intact throughout the whole episode (we were just finishing up our Christmas lunch).
Unfortunately the guy made off with the second bike. These guys were organised and waiting with a van to dump the bikes into. Watch out for them around the area.

 

Fair play though, in fairness.

Update:

Michael O’Riordan adds:

The bike was owned by Diarmaid in our office,This is also Diarmaid’s last week with us – we sadly part company on Friday, so this would have been a real tragedy for him, and the return of his bike was greatly appreciated. The crazy thing, Diarmaid and Ben are almost lookalikes! We are desperately looking for a chance to get a photo of the two together – maybe your original poster will grab one…
