Portland Oregon calls itself bicycle City USA
Bikes are everywhere and unfortunately so are bike these
Over the last decade nearly
13,000 bikes have been reported stolen here
So today we're testing what Portlanders will do if they see what could be a thief
stealing a bike in broad daylight
Will they believe Tyler's claim that it's his bike or will they put on the brakes and what if the person?
Looked like this
No, I
Got cutters, but I can't freakin do it. I don't know
And just like that
Right, I know it's there helping Tyler take the bike
Before they break away we catch up with them
But this he came they came very prepared we continue to help him potentially steal a bike
Became an accomplice to a crime
We're rolling again
Help me out. I left my key somewhere this woman doesn't want to get involved
You know literally with another person will be super quick, but once again, thank you
You know what? I mean? Like I left my keys somewhere. I don't know where it is, and that's good enough for her
On this side here and then like push down towards me, you know
I don't think we're gonna get it. I'm sorry. Okay, well
Alright, thanks for your help. I appreciate that
We decide to roll Tyler out and now bring in a new bike thief
Gabriel
Immediately this man starts asking questions
Hey, I dropped my key and should I get my bike at first he soft pedals is concerned
Yeah, yeah, it's just one of those days but then he unchanged his true feelings
What are y'all man y'all need to take my photo man
So our thief decides the best defense is a strong offense is it because I'm black
I'm saying I got it. If it was anyone else. Would you guys stop them? I'm just curious how
Are you I'm John quinones
Its what would you do the TV show?
You didn't have to do this. Yeah. Yeah, and you would have done this whether he'd be black quite a woman
Yeah, absolutely. We're in a big city, but it's also a small city and I think Portland is generally look out for each other
They certainly do. In fact, this woman makes it her civic duty
My picture why won't my picture
Let me get their backup of my crack I don't have my key
If his Butler loved anything to do now comes all flavor
Gabriel is back at I lost my key. Could you help me?
No
I lost my key that's off
This man notices but refuses to jump to conclusions what I understand that sometimes you're happy, right
So he quizzes gaben
Likes it. I'm not a bike personality No, okay stuff like that, you know
Kind of bike. Is it straight bike and Gabriel's? Well, he doesn't pass the test
If you haven't convinced me, I know why asking all these questions only so that I can say look
He said he knows things about it, but you wouldn't know if it wasn't yours
Yeah, I mean and that's that's all I just really need a helping hand. Yeah
Jonas how are you? It's the TV show. What would you do?
He actually asked you who do you think I'm stealing and he said well
I don't know right until I was comfortable one way or the other. I really wasn't willing to just walk away
What does that tell us about Portland?
Well, I'd like to think it tells us that you know, this is the kind of community
We want to live in and it's one that's safe and is crime free as we can make it
Now we shift gears one final time
How will people react if our bike thief is an attractive woman?
Yes, and I'm trying to get this off
Do you think you can try
Three is better than one
They agreed to help never even asking if it's Kristin's bike, thank you it's so
No, so they call for backup
No, it's my bike, I'm just I don't have my key and seems suspicious I
Mean I don't have like paperwork, you know, but still he helps
Thank you so much we try to ask him why hi. How are you? I'm John quinones
Tv-show she's an actor
Alright time to reset the scene Kristen is at it again
And without asking a single question he takes the Clippers struggles a bit and finally
He even helps her stow away her tools
Tell us what you were thinking
Somebody needed help. I just helped her the fact that she was an attractive young woman
Doesn't matter you would have helped anyone
Why not this time Kristen makes no excuses about her intentions. Thank you
No, it's not but that doesn't stop this man from helping her take the bike
But not everyone is so quick to help the beautiful and flirty Kristen it's my bike that my ex-boyfriend chained up
And this third try well, it's clearly not quite the charm hi
So this is my bike and I don't have the key. This town is pretty notorious for bike theft
So really there maybe are any people have called the cops on you
Do I look like a thief come on who steals a bike in broad daylight?
really smart people
Kristen makes one final plea. What about you. Can you help?
Well, look actually look behind you hi there, how are you
It's what would you do?
What made you stop I thought if it was my bike I would want somebody to say something you let her do all the work
What does that tell us about her and this community she's amazing so I knew she could do it
She's much more courageous people in Portland are generally nice, but we do have a lot of bikes getting stolen here
So I think we have to look out for each other
