A bike thief in California was caught on camera taking a break from his so-called crime to give some pets and cuddles to the victim's golden retriever.
Watch the video:
From Fox News:
An unidentified male entered a garage at a home in San Diego's Pacific Beach neighborhood at about 10:40 p.m. on July 15 to reportedly steal a pricey 2019 black Electra 3-speed bicycle, which has an estimated cost of $1,300, according to police.
"This isn't your average bike; it's distinct, featuring ‘8-ball’ caps on the tire valves, an ‘8-ball’ logo on the frame, and a rear wheel frame marked with a checkered black and white pattern," the police department said.
But as the suspect is about to leave with the stolen bike, the household's dog appears in the garage – stopping the suspect in his tracks.
The suspect pulls the bike back into the garage, engages the bike's kickstand and then turns his attention to the friendly dog with pets and belly rubs, the video shows.
"You're so cool," the man is heard telling the dog. "You're the coolest dog I've ever known. I love you, too. You're a sweetheart."
The man then calls out for the dog's "dad," while asking, "where's your dad?" and appearing to say its owner "should not leave your garage open."
I mean, come on, why'd this dude even leave his garage open? That's what I can't wrap my head around.
But hey, gotta give a shoutout to that super cute dog! Who in the world can resist a Golden Retriever? Those pups have to be some of the absolute sweetest out there.
Though, let's be real, they're definitely not cut out for guard dog duty...
