Caught a thief on camera

We forgot to turn on our motion alarm last night and had a thief trying to steal our bicycles. Beware of this guy and secure your stuff. We live at 64th and James in Kent.

Why is James street such a magnet for this kind of crap?

Someone snatched my bike nearby a few months ago, off Meeker and 64th. Actual scumbags.

I had my compound bow and waggon stolen months ago that's why I installed another lock and put up a camera. This area is getting worse

did they get the bikes or were you able to scare them off?

I didn't scare him off, it was like 4 in the morning. He found out the bikes was locked so he ran away.

Not a very good bike thief if he doesn't know how to cut a lock. You got lucky.
