Many on ARFCOM wouldn't intervene even if it were their bike. After all, getting hit by a ca...errr chopped in half with a saw for attempting to stop a thief isn't worth it  I'm unsure my $100 bike is worth the legal nightmare of shooting someone. To me. Cost/benefit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
There's a corollary to that... A white truck with cones around it becomes invisible. Buddy of mine is a GC and had a slow week a while back so he drove around town parking places in his truck, putting out the cones and wandering off. No tickets, no police stopped, not so much as a Post-It note on his window. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Kinda funny, just goes to show that if you look confident while you're doing something most people will never question it. A reflective vest, a clipboard, and confidence will pretty much get you into anywhere, up to and including Area 51. There's a corollary to that...

He and his brother would drive around in a white F-150 wearing orange vests when they made deliveries. Guy was a scumbag and got sent to prison for other criminal stuff . . but never got hassled for driving drugs around every day. |

Cost/benefit. There's no way I'd be leaving a $1200 bike on the sidewalk of SF. Hell, I won't leave my 26 y/o beater mtn bike locked on the sidewalk in SF. I was pissed enough when my $400 bike got stolen in LA a couple of years ago. |

But if you have the clipboard and look slightly pissed, the guys with the toolboxes open doors for you. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My grandfather says that you can go anywhere with a hard hat dirty jeans and a tool box But if you have the clipboard and look slightly pissed, the guys with the toolboxes open doors for you. There's a lot of construction going on at my school right now. We had just gotten back from a field trip to a mine, and I had my boots, reflective vest, and hard hat with me. I wanted to check out one of the new buildings that was almost done. I threw on my vest and hard hat and walked right in. I only saw a couple workers, but no one gave me a second look. They either didn't notice the lamp bracket and mining stickers or just didn't care
