Uber Eats rider has scooter stolen from outside London home in broad daylight 

AN UBER Eats rider has had his scooter stolen from outside his London home in broad daylight by two brazen thugs. 

The delivery driver had the key to his livelihood nicked from right under his nose as thieves struck his home in Burnt Oak, Barnet. 

Despite being confronted by the driver and his family, the two bold thieves paid little mind to their witnesses as one took off with the scooter whilst the other casually strolled away. 

Video shows the thieves struggling with the scooter after it appears to have been knocked down at the side of the road.

One of the thieves is a large man dressed in a grey Adidas tracksuit, who is so bold in his crime that he doesn’t even bother covering his face, whilst his accomplice is a little more cautious, dressing in all black and pulling his hood up. 

The larger of the two hoists the bike up as his pal walks away, before accidentally revving it and causing the wheels to spin. 

The onlookers – including the owner – shout at the pair as the hefty scooter thief straddles the seat and tries to take off. 

The witnesses chatter in a foreign language as one bloke throws a motorbike helmet to the floor in frustration. 

The lumbering thief pays no attention though as he casually stops and picks up the helmet from the floor before making his ‘daring’ escape.  

As he slowly rides off with the engine revving, he turns and shouts, “P***y” at the bystanders who watched him commit his crime.  

The video of the brazen daylight theft was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: “An UberEats rider gets his delivery bike stolen whilst he was inside his home in Burnt Oak, NW London.”  

The video has since received over 610 likes and more than 240 comments from stunned social media users.  

One user said: “This is heartbreaking. I hope the cops apprehend him and lock him behind bars. So brazen that he didn’t even cover his face.”  

Another joked: “Man that scooter was struggling to drive off at the end.”  

A third wrote: “Well done for handing him the helmet as well.”  

Another commented: “Shouldn’t take long to catch him, even by the Met’s standards.”  

A fifth added: “Burnt Oak was once a wonderful place, as was most of Middlesex. So sad.”
