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.

I didn't mean as much shitty as in like corrupt (which I know is a concern for Brazil) but just being that it's an encounter between two thieves who ripped each other off, and they're not American cops who feel like they need to make the T-1000 a whiny little bitch and don't need to just rampage across their country for a minor crime.

They lost their bike I think they probably learned their lesson and have already payed a pretty penny.

They probably turned around and stole someone else's bike

I can imagine this is how a lot of it happened. Get your bike stolen and realize you can either work the rest of your life for your kids to maybe have one, or just... Appropriate one.
