BBC iPlayer (for those that can access it) has a documentary on moped gangs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p05x9kfp/inside-britains-moped-crime-gangs.
Interesting viewing, if you have 40 mins to spare. Reporter goes out and about with them to understand their thinking, might be some tips (about 30 mins in) for avoiding your bike getting taken. Aside from that, I couldn't find any reason to give them the sympathy they seem to think they're entitled to, indeed I might have hardened against them even more than I already was. Anyone that goes out with knives, swords and acid deserves bad things to happen to them...
