This guy shows us how easy it is to steal a bike in New York. He’s wearing sunglasses and a hoodie stealing his own bike using a saw and a crowbar (one time next to a police station) and no one interferes. A couple of people seem to be looking at him, but they just walk by.
Wow, it took more than 200 days for the bike to get stolen. If someone would have left that where I live I would give it 20 minutes maximum before someone snatches it.
