How utterly stupid can you be?

Let's say, hypothetically, that someone of my acquaintance had a bike,
for sake of argument a GSXR400, and it got nicked. AFAIK it's not that
common a model in the first place, but it had a rather distinctive paint
job, bright yellow with a fairly well-known chocolate brand logo on it
(whether the name of this has anything to do with Suzuki's usual finish
quality I'm not saying).

Let's also say that, some weeks after the theft, a known scrote and
chav-wannabe [1] of the "Great Border City" (ha ha) was seen riding said
bike in a public place, not 10 miles from the scene of the crime, having
made no attempt to hide or alter the appearance of the bike, and this
information was communicated by others to the rightful owner, who then
took affirmative action to reclaim his property (okay, he didn't, he
just informed Plod, matters may be ongoing).

Is it possible to have an IQ in negative figures?

[1] Many of the denizens of Carlisle's outlying districts aspire towards
chav-ness; Burberry is a lifestyle choice.

 

....and the plod just told him not to do it again. Probably. They've got to
save space in the prisons for people who break the speed limit.

Yeah, from the sounds of that paint job he'd have to be retarded
