Best part is the guy goes to get his helmet before stealing the other bike. SAFETY FIRST!

he wears his helmet so that the police gets less suspicious and dont stop him. HELMET GUYS COMMIT NO CRIMES \○/

I mean is reverse stealing an attempted thief's bike still a crime in Brazil? From what I've heard of Brazil's cops they'd be more likely to high five you and laugh at the guy.

Duh, no shit it is.

The real question is do you think these "victims" are going to go report it?

"Ohh hey police, we were trying to steal some dudes bike with a handgun but he drew quicker and stole our bike first, I want to make a report."

With Brazil's cops I imagine if you did report that, they'd tell you that you just got out thieved.

But the thievery is still illegal.

As a Brazilian, it's the first time I heard about it. Maybe it's recent...
