The moll looks straight-up tweaky. She’s either really, really nervous about the heist or on a multi-day meth binge. Or both.

I used to ride shit bikes and not worry about it. Then I got a really nice expensive bike. Never going back.

So the door to the bike cage or whatever that area where the bikes are is left wide open???

I have the schwaggiest bike possible that I keep locked up at 24 st BART. The old rear wheel was dented, rusty, and had a notable wobble. Yet, somebody stole that wheel off my locked bike a few months ago.

I got a new wheel for the schwaggy bike and locked it to the frame with a cheap little chain. A week later, somebody tried to steal the wheel again, but quit half-way in when they noticed the little chain lock. Since then, it’s been left alone.

Point being: It doesn’t matter how cheap your bike is, it’s still thief-bait.

On a broader note, seeing that footage of the street traffic reminds me of the kind of surveillance they have in London.

That’s a powerful weapon to have at your disposal if you have the wherewithal to procure the footage and disseminate it.

As much as I hate bike thieves and relish the chance to confront one, I wonder if crossing this threshold of publicly ID’ing suspects through sidewalk camera surveillance footage wouldn’t better be reserved for something like identifying the rape suspect lurking around 24 ST, or other such criminals.

Because people want nice shit, it’s not a crime of stupidity or naivete. I have a nice bike ’cause I can afford it. Owning a piece of shit bike is not wrong, but neither is it virtuous.

The bikes I ride are $100 cruisers, heavy, with fat tires and super comfortable. I ride slow and it’s great. I totally recommend cheap bikes. I see all these people riding and losing their expensive racing bikes and wonder why people want racing bikes in the city.

Thanks for posting my video here guys, I appreciate any help finding it and/or the jerks who stole it.

Learned my lesson with the cable lock. I’ve been using it for the past 3 years thinking the garage was “safe enough” to justify it. Clearly not.

Not the first theft from that garage. Happened earlier this year. Building released the footage. Looks like a different dude though.
