Bicycle Thief Caught on Video

Wow people sure are either naturally or willfully unobservant. That skateboarder goes by like nothing is happening.
I don’t think he was willfully unobservant you gotta approach situations like this with foresight and NOT try to be the hero. Ultimately it’s just a bike. I grew up in the Mission and one thing I’ve learned is assessing the situation first is better than risking being clocked in the face or worse yet shot by a concealed weapon.
What is the recommended response if we see this?
That’s a busy corner – I think I would stand at a safe distance and make a whole bunch of noise yelling at the guy for stealing, and also calling 911. Maybe alerting Walgreens security first?
Looks like the bike was just locked up with a cable lock. I’m sorry this happened but cable locks don’t afford any measure of security in The City. A painful lesson.
so true! please remember to bring a ulock wherever you lock up in SF.
