Security video catches “George” in the act of stealing a Trek 5500 OCLV bicycle from a bike parking area in San Francisco.
I’m amazed how long the thief loiters among the bikes. He pulls a sweatshirt of jacket out of his backpack to hide his bolt cutter.
The victim says he’s a new employee at the building and didn’t realize bikes inside the building are prohibited. When building security wouldn’t permit him to bring the bike in, he ran to Ace Hardware and “bought the best cable lock I could find there.”
After the theft victim posted his appeal online, somebody contacted him and told him the thief’s name is George.
