I think I saw someone steal a bike at the train station yesterday.

I walked up to the steps leading to the platform and past the bike rack where a guy was unlocking the lock. He looked up. He was struggling. He did it then rode away.

But that look at me. He didn't have a helmet. And it was 8 minutes since the last train. Takes 15 seconds to get to the bike racks.

I think he was just trying different keys until he found one that worked.

I can't prove it tho and what could I have done anyway. I was the only other person at the train station. I kinda feel bad for the bike owner.
