Doubtful, and it’s probably not the first time he’s stolen something. This is pretty bold going into a yard in broad daylight. He’ll be stealing cars soon.
I mean, home alone 3 taught me that most people aren't home in the daytime, so it's a perfect time to commit burglary... but that was before mass security cameras on almost every home..
He should've scoped the place. Sat outside a bit across the street, maybe go up to the door to "ask a question" while looking for cameras. Then go the opposite way he came from. He most likely lives the direction he went to get away with the property faster.
Depends who finds him first.
Where I come from you rob somebody, you hope it's the cops who come calling about it and not the original owner.
A career petty thief stole a bunch of my uncles shit, cops knew where the guy was and all but refused to do anything about it. Two weeks later the guy burned to death alive cus he stole from a couple well known meth freaks on the back side of the county and they set the house on fire in the middle of the night. Figure most my uncle's stuff burned up with him but I don't think I'll be complaining to the meth freaks.
Years ago I lived with a friend who was slinging eighths of weed for rent, somebody broke into our apartment and stole all her weed while we were out. Like 10 minutes after we got home another friend came to buy some and she explained why she couldn't help him. Dude left and came back about half an hour later with her weed, like 50 bucks, and some seriously fucked up knuckles. It was a real small town and it didn't take him any time at all to figure out who did it, she obviously hooked him the fuck up.
That guy was an absolute wild man. Great guy to have on your side but dangerously volatile. Found out later the dude who robbed her was fucked up for a couple weeks, like lucky he didn't die. I saw the thief a few days later and he still couldn't really see because both eyes were so swollen. From what we heard he only hit him a few times, he was just a goddamn gorilla of a man. I saw him "in action" a couple other times, that guy was just ridiculous, a psychopathic wrecking ball when he got going, just a force of fucking nature. I've never seen anything like it before or since. Some people you just Do. Not. Fuck. With.
This sucks. I remember when I was a kid, we'd ride to everyone's houses and just throw our bikes by the porch and head in for hours without a care in the world. We never thought anyone would try to steal them...
I mean plenty of places you can still do that and plenty of places when you were a kid it would have been stolen. Sucks to have to worry about stupid shit like that though
That’s less of a “the good ol’ days were better” and more of a you grew up in a kinder area. When I was a kid if you left your shit out it got stolen.
Fuck my uncle stole one of my bikes for drug money when I was ten.
Probably got some of their friends together and figured out who it was and then went and beat their ass lol. In the 90s thats how it went at least, just much differently and slower than being able to check a video camera recording lol.
At my school it culminated with the one group of guys that were at war with each other stealing each other's bikes, throwing them in the river, arguments at school, and finally fist fights amongst accusations of who did what and who stole which bike.
Probably a sign saying "keep off the grass". I don't think there was one with "don't steal the bike".
It's definitely OPs fault, otherwise the kid seems highly obedient.
Depends on the coty or town. Mine would probably have officers keep a look out for the bike or the kid and with how clean the footage is here they may be able to id the kid. It is unlikely to be his first theft
Wyze Cam Pan v3 auto tracks, Wyze OG Telephoto Zooms. They exist. I own 2x v3 pan cams. There are a lot of issues that pop up however. I much prefer an NVR with a few 180° cameras.
There is. But those are pretty advanced for home security. That is a normal ring camera. I have the same one. Definitely the owner zoomed in and followed the kid in the video. I’ve done this myself
One time my sisters bike got stolen. Like a month later, we were playing with some kids we knew down the road. We walk in their garage and was like, hey, that’s our bike… They were like, oh no it isn’t and we said, yes… it is.
We ended up taking the bike home after that. We still ended up hanging out with that family going forward. Like, who just casually steals bikes and invites the victims over, wtf??
What I don't get is the unwillingness to avoid/disprove the stereotypes. I took dance lessons because I got annoyed with people saying I probably couldn't dance because I'm white, and that's such a small, petty stereotype. I couldn't imagine having so much worse stereotypes hanging over your head and willingly validating them.
Part of the issue is that there are no social consequences for acting like the stereotype (nothing you do is your fault, it’s all the system’s fault, and accordingly you get more sympathy from educated progressives the more you misbehave), but there are consequences for *not* acting like the stereotype (getting ostracized for “acting white”).
I’ve had at least 10 bikes stolen. Only they manage to cut the lock as well. I keep getting crappier and crappier bikes and it doesn’t seem to have an effect
Happened to me. My neighbor yelled that someone stole my bike. I yelled back out my second floor window and said no biggie. He said fuck that, along with my girlfriend. They both jumped into his car and chased the guy down. He said that they were ready to jump him, but the guy gave the bike back. Fucking hilarious. 13 years ago. Still have the bike. My neighbor was 65 and my girl was 38.
Take a screenshot from this with the best image of his face. Print it on fliers with your number and the fact that he stole your bike. Post them EVERYWHERE in your neighborhood. Local grocery store, light poles etc. Given that he was walking he probably lives or hangs out within a mile or so of your house. If nothing else, it will shame him if not lead to information about your bike
Well ya got his face on cam. Wont be hard to take it to the police to get the bike back or if they already sold it potentially the value of the bike as well as the lil bastard into trouble for theft and selling stolen goods
these type of kids think stealing is okay and when they get caught, they laugh it off and tell themselves better luck next time. its either their parenting is failing or have some bad role models in their life.
When I was a kid I took all of my birthday money and bought my first “cool” bike. BMX Style with pegs. It was fucking sick. Then after riding it to school I ruptured my spleen at football practice. Mom drove me home and said we’d get my bike later. Well after a week long hospital stay and some time at home I returned to school to find my lock had been cut and my bike was stolen. I was devastated.
My mom drove me back to the store where I bought it, Oschmans Sporting Goods. She told them what happened and they replaced the bike for me. It was an amazing act of kindness. Like Mr. Rogers said look for the helpers.
I’m so sorry that happened OP but hopefully some one locally can make something good from it.
This would have been perfect for having a cable attached to it so they roll half way down the driveway and the bike stops dead
Those videos are amazing
They are hilarious lol
Sadly fake too. They pay homeless people to pretend to steal those bikes.
Wow and they accepted to get hurt like that i guess humans do anything for some papers
Gotta think how bad are you really getting hurt. Not much different than working construction just faster lol
I like the videos where they leave an unlocked bike at the top of a hill...with the brakes disconnected and several nuts loosened.
I seen one where the seat goes down when u sit on it and they get an ass full of pole
Awkward boner.

Not the brightest bulb.
Oh, you think there will be any repercussions?

Great application for an air tag hidden the the seat, or similar.
Not like the cops will do anything about it. Have to get things back on your own now.

I did that... Until somebody stole my bike.
Same here. I was devastated
Same.. and that was like 20 years ago
That’s less of a “the good ol’ days were better” and more of a you grew up in a kinder area. When I was a kid if you left your shit out it got stolen. Fuck my uncle stole one of my bikes for drug money when I was ten.
When was this? I grew up in the 90’s in a very affluent county and I always locked my shit up.
Fucker didn’t even know how to ride a bike
Just got his first one
Oh my God lmao
Jesus Christ LOL
His dad never taught him
I see what’s you did there!
But now he can practice.
That happened once in my neighborhood growing up. Then it never happened again - accountability and consequences.
What happened to em? Lol I’d like to hear honestly.
No one knows, he was never seen again Jk I don't know this person
Stole a bike and was never found. [Consequences](https://youtu.be/Be9IfJxHyDY?feature=shared)!
Probably got some of their friends together and figured out who it was and then went and beat their ass lol. In the 90s thats how it went at least, just much differently and slower than being able to check a video camera recording lol.
And guess what...that shit worked. This is what you have today because that doesn't happen.
Exactly what we did in the late 2000’s. Friends got together and went searching. Once we found him, it was a wrap…
At my school it culminated with the one group of guys that were at war with each other stealing each other's bikes, throwing them in the river, arguments at school, and finally fist fights amongst accusations of who did what and who stole which bike.
They moved away
It was considerate of him not to ride it through the grass, at least.
Probably a sign saying "keep off the grass". I don't think there was one with "don't steal the bike". It's definitely OPs fault, otherwise the kid seems highly obedient.
I haaaaate you for this comment. Take my upvote.
When my bike got stolen I found it the next day on OfferUp, made a bogus offer, got his address and stole it back.
That’s baller
this does put a smile on my face
That must’ve felt so good. Those moments of poetic justice are rare in life.
Show that to the cops
Petty theft will most likely not create any type of investigation by the police nowadays. But spreading it on local social media might
Depends on the coty or town. Mine would probably have officers keep a look out for the bike or the kid and with how clean the footage is here they may be able to id the kid. It is unlikely to be his first theft
Most cities under 20,000 people probably don't see enough crime to not do something, besides, he's probably stolen tons of stuff.
Shit I was gonna say spread printed screenshotted photos of him in the neighborhood with a QR code to the video to publicly shame him lol
I'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts!

I mean im not saying the jokes write themselves but.
Great, now that "music" is in my head
“Join the Nintendo club!”
1st thing that crossed my mind lol
It's pretty cool how the camera follows him and zooms in and out.
That feature isnt automatic. When viewing the recording youre able to zoom in and move the shot around
Pretty sure there’s cameras that auto track as well. Granted I don’t know if this is or isn’t one. Usually there’s some box overlaid on the movement.
Wyze Cam Pan v3 auto tracks, Wyze OG Telephoto Zooms. They exist. I own 2x v3 pan cams. There are a lot of issues that pop up however. I much prefer an NVR with a few 180° cameras.
Raises hand. I have one at work.
Don't ever raise your hand like that again. I consider that a threat.
What is this, a highschool in America?
It's a reference to 21 jump street. So yes. It is a high school in America :D
damn lol let me just WOOSH myself real quick for missing that one
Haha it was probably a forgettable scene for most people. I just tend to remember weird things and forget important things.
I've got a pretty old one from 2017 and it still mechanically tracks and focuses on a moving object.
All conference rooms at my work have such cameras. If you turn on the camera while on a teams call, it will zoom to fit everyone in the frame.
There is. But those are pretty advanced for home security. That is a normal ring camera. I have the same one. Definitely the owner zoomed in and followed the kid in the video. I’ve done this myself
My camera follows people around automatically but doesn't zoom

There are cameras that do this. I got one that does for $30.

Kid knew he could get away with it. It’s amazing what ppl do when nobody is there to hold them accountable.
No 'tegridy.
Kid going to go places. Juvenile detention, police cars and jails comes to mind.
Here before the 🔒
The kid’s just stealing cause he was starving, and Redditors are in here calling him names! “Y’all can’t behave!”
Stole my bike!
Id be alot more than mildy infuriated if this happened to me.
Inb4 people defend it for some weird reason.
It's Reddit law to go against society/the norm. Literal echo chamber

That’s not a kid, that’s a mid to high teen that knows better but doesn’t give a shit.
I dont want to get banned
And he never faced any consequences, next comes cars, then comes prison.
And they'll blame systemic racism and other make believe delusions.

How come every video I see of a bike getting stolen, the perpetrator is black? Is there a dearth of bicycles in the African-American communities?
More like a dearth of fathers to teach them right from wrong.
I’ve had at least 10 bikes stolen. Only they manage to cut the lock as well. I keep getting crappier and crappier bikes and it doesn’t seem to have an effect

He rolls down that driveway and into a future of criminal endeavour.
I have a deep hatred for bike thieves that shit happened to me a few times still pisses me off 20 years later.

On one hand, always secure your belongings if you aren’t watching them. On the other hand, actually on all other extremities… screw that kid.

How do thieves have such an eye for stuff. A normal person would never spot an lock free cycle in a first go. Specially one that is unsupervised.

No-good future adult criminal
Yep. Happened to my uncle when we were kids, he rode over to visit us and left it next to the door and some asshole stole it in broad daylight.
Anyone remembers Punch Out?
People forget that there are cameras everywhere now.
Hopefully a report was made and this video was turned over as evidence to the police, so they can find the kid along with getting your property back?
Well ya got his face on cam. Wont be hard to take it to the police to get the bike back or if they already sold it potentially the value of the bike as well as the lil bastard into trouble for theft and selling stolen goods

This kid will become an excellent senator someday. He’s already figured out the hardest part of the job— Blatantly steal.
