New York is the worse place to conduct that experiment. NYC is a huge garbage can that smells like piss and no one gives a shit what happens around them.

yea....except for the bolt cutters none of them are suspicious at all...

who would seriously try to steal bikes with a hammer and spike? or a hacksaw...

even the bolt cutter could easily be explained. The only real worry about stealing a bike is the owner comming back while your doing it...and karma.

The only time you'd get busted for something like that in NYC is if a cop was walking by. Hey TeamRedlineS2k, at least you don't live in NJ ---- Jersey is NYC's toilet.

then please do so.

The only reason to walk the street with a bolt cutter is to steal bikes. Period. The only way bike thieves get away with it in New York is the people of New York let it happen. They're kinda dumb, probably from the polluted air and water. People steal bikes in other cities, but not as often and not as flagrantly.

Parking your bike outside in a city overnight is begging for trouble, IMHO. That said, bike thieves ought to get a toe cut off with a bolt cutter for every stolen bike.

I wouldn't do anything either except maybe tell a cop if I saw one. What if that guy had a gun or knife in his bag. He'd have to be a little crazy to steal the bike in broad daylight, so if he was not the owner and was stealing it then he'd probably not think twice about knifing you for busting him.
