Bike Thief Gets Worked - NYC

This dude tried to steal a bike in broad daylight right on 1st st/1st ave. Apparently he pulled out a drill and tried to drill out the bike lock - RIGHT in front of the owner. OOPS. Thats some balls right there. Helmet and bag on just to blend in and appear to be a very awkward, but regular biker. Funniest part, the dude is trying to apologize. A bit too late for that, no? He got lucky that this scene took places in the middle of Manhattan and in front of tons of people.

I had 2 bikes stolen, and that's one shitty feeling...

Alfred went out to make a call and spotted someone looking over his bike. Nothing unusual ,he got a hot ass cannondale with hot ass wheels.the guy was average looking,had a helmet and a bag.looked like your average joe casual biker.Suddenly this dude gets on his knees and pulls out a drill.At first Alfred thought he wanted to steal his wheels,until he saw the drill.Is this what it has come out to?!people stealing bike with drills?Anyways as he was getting ready to drill the ulock,Alfred comes in the restaurant and yells,!yooooo someones trying to steal my bike,lets go get him.and let me tell you this ass hole tried stealing the wrong bike.first it was a bike messengers bike and second it was Alfred's bike and the motherFkr got a temper sometimes.so we roll out to this dude and start pounding him.my first instinct was to get my U lock and bang on him,but my bike was already locked up so , we bumbrushed this dude and started pounding him.Everybody is watching and wondering why this dude is being plumeted ,but at that point we don't give a fuck.we had to make sure this asshole dosen't do it again.me personal i have had 2 bikes stolen,in like a month apart.fuck that shit.he did't even look like a bike thief!so while pounding him i reach out to put my phone in my pocket and realized i had a camera on my wait.i pulled it out and captured the second half of the beating!"
