Kinda funny, just goes to show that if you look confident while you're doing something most people will never question it.

It's not their problem. It's somebody else's problem, probably somebody funded by tax money.

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. |

Maybe if I seen the owner of the bike lock it to the rack. There was a case where a bike courier had his bike stolen and other couriers chased him down and delivered street justice.

What exactly are they supposed to do?
"Hey, are you stealing that bike?" "No, it's mine. I lost the key." Now what? Sure, you can call the cops, but he'll be long gone by the time they get there. I guess you can take a picture with your phone, assuming the cops care. |

Pretty routine for me to walk into a hospital, load up $500,000+ worth of instruments and walk out the door without being questioned. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Kinda funny, just goes to show that if you look confident while you're doing something most people will never question it. I even did that for an interview. Office was closed and the entrance for employees was propped open. Not wanting to be late or a goober by waiting for them to open the lobby, I just walked in the employee door and hung out until someone asked me if I knew who was interviewing people that day. I replied that I would love to know since I had an interview  Pointed out the security issue with leaving a secure door propped open during the interview and still ended up with the job. |

If you are bold and act like you belong, no one will question it.
Saw some dateline episode like this. They had a guy in a busy parking lot in daylight attempting to smash a car window. Nobody freaked out, in fact many offered to help the guy. Everyone assumed it was his car and he locked his keys inside. Did the same experiment sneaking around in dark parking lot trying to be covert. Everyone called the cops to report suspicious activity. Wear an orange vest and a hardhat, you can damn near go and do anything without anyone questioning you. |

A cordless angle grinder in the hands of a guy that limps along with a cane is not that dangerous. However like the poster above, I would probably figure he just lost his key.
