Some thieves have no qualms about being seen in full daylight.

Yup, a guy steals a bike and another guy apparently just
stands there and films it. And, apparently the guy doing the
filming had advances knowledge of the theft as he was filming
prior to the thief even appearing on the scene. -- Cheers,

Which shows you that it's probably a fake. But since it does
plainly shows that passers-by couldn't care less it is
informative.


Ahm, have you guys heard of ... security cameras?

Obviously the camera is at least 10ft above the pavement. So a
"camera guy" would have to be rather tall or would need a personal
jet pack. In both cases there would at least be subtle shaking.

It looks like the same sort of camera that recorded a woman setting
a bus stop on fire in front of a friend's business. This resulted
in her being caught.

Well, you wouldn't think that a man would be standing there and
filming it if you wanted to see the reaction of the passers-by. The
building appears to be a theater so there wouldn't be any outside
balcony.


The neighboring building does:

But it still appears to be a set-up. The "thief" is too well dressed
etc.


They did that even decades ago. When I lived in the Netherlands people
stole bikes in broad daylight, thinking they'd get away with it. The
vast majority did get away with in but those who were caught because of
a camera shot and made it into the media were often well dressed.
Sometimes even business attire. It probably makes it easier to convince
passers-by that they are supposedly cracking the lock on their own bike.
