Years ago, the police set up roadblocks on every exit from sunny Burton and stopped every bike trying to leave town.
It turned out there had been an armed robbery at one of the banks and a bike was used as the getaway vehicle.
Now, there was two things wrong with the police reaction,
1: by the time the roadblocks were in place, the villans would have been long gone if they had stayed on the bike
2: if the villans had gone just a couple of streets away from the bank, they could have dumped the bike, got in a car and been waved through the roadblocks with a cheery smile and an apology for the delay
The roadblocks were in place for hours
The stupidity of it still annoys me to this day, over 20 years later
