Opportunity Theft for sure, guy on bike saw a chance to have the SUV and simply took it without having to confront the owner or anyone.
Thankful nobody hurt except for some property losses, maybe including the bike being stolen from a child.
Never leave your vehicle running even “for just a moment”
Hope the guy is caught and prosecuted.
what about a DNA test off the bicycle
maybe stole the automobile so he could get to his job on time?
Probably a stolen bicycle. Hope they get the vehicle back.
I had my truck stole from a gas station one time . I left my truck running,, it was my fault,, i always keep my keys in my pocket now . I hope they find the persons car
crimes that used to happen in other places are becoming common here at home. i fault the poor parenting and a weak justice system that releases criminals too easily.
When i get gas i take my keys out lock my door go pay for my gas. I started doing that when someone i know got her money stolen in Atmore while her and the person was talking.
