And if the guy with the $4,000 bike stole $400,000,000 from investors through his hedge fund, calling the cops wouldn't even occur to anyone; they might actually send him to the Senate á la Rick Scott. The other trope would be is if poor people have their bikes stolen, it's because they didn't lock/take care of them adequately themselves. So why didn't that guy take better care of his $4,000 bike?

As someone who shared this article on Twitter mentioned, it’s very telling how so many people automatically assume a poor person, specifically in this case one who is also unhoused, having something nice automatically means they stole it.
