Three bicycles with price values in the thousands have been stolen from the same bike room of a residential building in Williamsburg, according to police.

Godfrey Daniels, how/why on earth WAS there a second incident in the same freakin’ place?!
How did he gain access into the building and then to the bike room? Inside job? Why was the bike in the video not secured or was it? The video only shows the man taking the bike down and not cutting any locks or cables. As a bike owner myself, I know that you do not leave your bike unsecured anywhere in NYC. Regardless of the type of neighborhood or building you happen to be in. There are crooks everywhere and even “victims” of crimes have been proven to be the criminals themselves for the purpose of fraudulent financial gain. To the victims, I feel for you. To the thief, I hope you are caught in the act and ripped apart. I’m just sayin’.
