there is a video of a guy "stealing" bikes on youtube. One of them is right in front of a cop.
When I was a bike mechanic, we had a giant pair of bolt cutters for this problem. The funny thing was that people would bring in a bike with a lock on the seat and want it cut off. So we would get out the giant bolt cutters and take it off for them. Invariably they gave the impression that they thought we were bike thieves because we knew how to do that.
