The ones who hide it are the ones who get caught. If you see two men talking in mid day and then they trade briefcases, you might think it was a bit wierd.. but you wouldn't do much about it. Now if it's 2 am and they're wearing ski masks, you probably would call the cops.
Any GOOD crook knows that the best way to hide something is to put it in plain sight. It's all about being absolutely ridiculous in your obviousness. If he had been pacing back and forth looking for cops, or looking up at every person who passed with those oh-so-guilty eyes that amateur crooks have.. he probably would have aroused more suspicion. I'd like to see him do this same video with other people's bikes. I bet you a million bucks that his suspicious activity would actually become suspicious, because he'd know he was actually breaking a law this time.
That's why I hide all MY crimes in plain sight.
I thought I'd share a similar article I read on Slashdot this morning.. Application and Perimeter penetration teams that work with corporations to see exactly where their vulnerabilities lie:

Now dressed in the appropriate attire, we started walking the facility. We located an empty conference room and commandeered it as our place to work. As my colleague jacked into the network and started scanning each address, I started moving through the facility looking for anything that could provide privileged network access.
Within minutes, I located workstations littered with sticky notes containing logins and passwords. Some even provided detailed information on which systems could be accessed. After collecting several logins and passwords, I made my way back to our conference room to use what I had found.
As soon as I walked into the room, my colleague indicated he was now a domain administrator with access to numerous systems as well. Our efforts led us to a significant find of HIPAA-rich information. After several hours, we had collected enough information for our report, and we casually exited the building through the same doorway we entered.

You do it like you know it, and you do it in plain sight.. and no one even thinks twice.
