An alleged burglary took place on Diamond Street in Pacific Beach last month.
At 10:40 p.m. on July 15, a man allegedly stole a bicycle from a home’s garage.
In the middle of the brazen theft, he stopped to share a moment with a dog.
“The guy enters the garage, grabs the bike and starts to walk out. He is about five feet outside the garage door, and a golden retriever comes outside, into the garage, and follows the guy out. He immediately comes back in, parks the bike and starts playing with the dog,” San Diego Police Department Lt. Brian Brecht said.
A video posted on social media by San Diego police shows the man, after playing with the dog for about a minute, leaving the property with the bike that is believed to be around $1,300.
“We are still looking for the subject. That’s why we advertised this on social media, but hopefully, we can get some tips from the public,” Brecht said.
Why should I have any sympathy for some rich old white people living in a suburban house in a bougie part of San Francisco getting one of their dozen bikes burgled in a garage they clearly left open?
Bikes should be communal property anyways, cities should just leave them at street corners and let it be first come first serve, throw anyone in jail who uses a bike lock.
The existence of cars is a har greater hindrance to bike accessibility than bike locks
this is literally bicycle-sharing systems, they’re very popular and often better than using your private bike
