Security video catches “George” in the act of stealing a Trek 5500 OCLV bicycle from a bike parking area in San Francisco.
Security camera footage captures man casually breaking a lock with a bolt cutter to steal a bike. Kristen and an unidentified friend — who apparently see the theft through the office window — take quick action, run outside and block the would be thief’s escape.
Unlike some previous thwarted bike theft attempts captured on video, there doesn’t seem to be any retributive citizen justice in this example.

On his lock strategy page, Sheldon Brown (RIP) recommends locking a bike by securing the rear wheel inside the rear triangle with a U lock. A YouTube video shows Sheldon might be wrong!
The inimitable Gary Fisher tweeted that his bike was stolen Sunday night out of his San Francisco home!
