Hunt for car tyre slasher turns into cyclist registration debate

QUOTE:
West Ham footballer Michail Antonio posted footage of a rogue vandal slashing multiple car tyres yesterday, warning his followers to "keep an eye out".. In the clip, the man wearing a blue rucksack cycles cycles up to a black Audi and appears to make a slashing motion to one of the rear tyres. He then rides over to a Mercedes G-Class and stabs a front tyre, which visibly deflates as he rides away. Antonio claims one of the cars targeted in Wapping, East London in the early hours of Tuesday morning was his, and is appealing for information.

This has all somehow led a number of people over on Twitter advocating for the registration of cyclists... In a world where cyclists needed to register and insure their vehicle, would someone going around slashing car tyres anonymously take the time to do this? We're going to guess 'no'...
