An alleged burglary took place on Diamond Street in Pacific Beach last month.
At 10:40 p.m. on July 15, a man allegedly stole a bicycle from a home's garage.
In the middle of the brazen theft, he stopped to share a moment with a dog.
“The guy enters the garage, grabs the bike and starts to walk out. He is about five feet outside the garage door, and a golden retriever comes outside, into the garage, and follows the guy out. He immediately comes back in, parks the bike and starts playing with the dog,” San Diego Police Department Lt. Brian Brecht said.
A video posted on social media by San Diego police shows the man, after playing with the dog for about a minute, leaving the property with the bike that is believed to be around $1,300.
“We are still looking for the subject. That’s why we advertised this on social media, but hopefully, we can get some tips from the public,” Brecht said.

That kind of negative utilitarianism is what ethically compelled me to be an arsonist. It might make the homeowner unhappy, but it gives me so much pleasure that it's a net good for the world.
If you do it enough in the same area the house prices will fall as well!
It's making wildlife habitat too. They need that after all those wildfires I started.
People don't steal bikes because it benefits them, otherwise tons of nice bikes wouldn't end up ditched in the woods or rivers.
There's theft due to direct material conditions (gucci purses and whatever else you can sell to pay rent and feed yourself), then there's theft due to social conditions (the white board from school).
Some random guy's bike is more the latter.
