And if the guy with the $4,000 bike stole $400,000,000 from investors through his hedge fund, calling the cops wouldn't even occur to anyone; they might actually send him to the Senate á la Rick Scott. The other trope would be is if poor people have their bikes stolen, it's because they didn't lock/take care of them adequately themselves. So why didn't that guy take better care of his $4,000 bike?
As someone who shared this article on Twitter mentioned, it’s very telling how so many people automatically assume a poor person, specifically in this case one who is also unhoused, having something nice automatically means they stole it.
Do we really believe that the homeless are buying and selling all of those bikes in some sort of legitimate operation? A guy’s stolen bike turned up in that cache. Do the story on how that marketplace works. Try and prove the supply isn’t coming from stolen bikes.
