Nah; I'll stick with shaming. If Jason had ever gotten laid as a young man, most of his current "opponents" would be worshiping his integrity. I'd wager. Only 1) being consistently wrong about 2) the specific things he's so wrong about make Jason a bad man. Were there any ethical basis for his pogrom against sanity (or any situation in which arguing with him served some purpose) then he'd be exemplary of intellectual honesty. Sadly, he's just a perverted loon with a poor vocabulary and a weak grasp of low-order logic.

No invocation of a golden age society excuses the asshole from stealing bikes. Sorry. You, though, are free to forgive anyone that pleases you to forgive. I tend not to excuse people, on any basis, really. It's rare that a situation actually calls for forgiveness - usually, I find, it's more of a matter of me letting go of anger than telling someone the fib "you are forgiven".

The ethical bottom line, here, as I see it, is clear: the bike was locked up.

No one is 'forgiven'. Consequences are real. Dude got far less than his crime merited; they did the right thing twice: thoroughly punished him, and backed off before he got hurt. The shithead gets to keep his body intact and the couriers get to avoid going to jail over stupid bullshit. One thing's sure, the shithead looked around *very* carefully before he stole his next bike. I'm guess he went back to work the day or so following this incident.

Fight! Fight! Fight!
