It's real.

He turned the money in.

You have to wonder: How did this come to anyone's attention in the first place? But it could be that the person who lost the money asked Walmart for help, and the cameras caught the story.

So this may not be as baleful a sign of our times as it at first seems. But how much effort do police departments make for stolen bicycles? It's definitely an example of the cops taking a crime seriously, not because the crime is serious, but because the case is easy.

How did this come to anyone's attention in the first place?

A cop had recently been dumped by someone who was in the vicinity of the dropped $30.

I once had the cops find my stolen bike, because the state required you to have a registration number.

I never picked it up since the reason they recovered it is because they saw a black guy riding it and figured it must be stolen.

Why would you not want your bike back?

But dont you see, by never interacting with those cops again, and letting them keep his property for free, he made a true moral stand!

Being that naive must be nice. No one ever steals for any other reason than necessity, right?

He was scared he'd get murdered by the black guy obviously.

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 0 points 1 week ago
