One day I went to the local Jerry's Building store and realized that I didn't have a lock. So, I asked someone at customer service if they'd watch my bike, and they said to just take the bike into the store. Wheeling it around really wasn't much different from a shopping cart.

I've seen people trying to break into cars using a coat hanger, and always thought the ones using a coat hanger and not a sledge were the legit owners.

A few years ago I did see a car botch a parallel parking job (making a mess of the car they were next to), then drive off. It was a cute little sports car that was mangled. So, I memorized the license plate and called campus security. Someone else had a description of the car. I assume they got snagged for Hit & Run.

In today's world, just about everyone has a cell phone and camera, so it wouldn't be surprising for a thief to be caught on camera... or have the police called. But the London film was just odd. Even people looking at the "thief" and casually walking on.
