He stole a scratch card? Just one? He sounds a right desperado. Be lucky if he won a quid on it anyway, but even if he did win, they're all serial numbered and sequenced so he can't cash it. The criminal genius probably used his own bike too.

what kind of idiot would risk going to jail for stealing a scratch card?i hope he gets caught soon as i think he is a dangerous man, who in their right mind would threaten anybody with a weapon for such a low value item?
