There’s sort of a way to predict that actually. Just like how gas station franchises are typically built off interstates, you can probably imagine that the best direction to flee in case you have to is probably not into the intersection with crossing traffic and difficult-to-predict light changes.
We are also only seeing the version of reality where our dear protagonist fled in that particular direction, we don’t know whether there were other people posted up elsewhere or not.

We ended up getting strapped and went back to the site the proceeded to jack it back 😅.Once we took it to the police station? They threatened my dad with arrest for “taking it back with out law enforcement because it was stolen and he just wanted to take it back home😂. They said we had to turn it in and file the right paperwork which would have cost us a bunch of fees at the station and the impound lot were they wanted it.

I'm actually curious about the backstory. It feels like the "seller" actually stole it, and the buyer is using a decoy as a set up to catch him. It happens often in Colorado.
She asks "where'd you get it?" and he doesn't have an answer. Saying the shop's name is the usual reply.

u/IHadThatUsername Jun 09 '23 edited Jun 09 '23
Yes here's the link. Action starts at 18:40. The guy is Mexican and these sorts of robbery set ups are more common there, which is probably why he was so aware, he was suspicious from the start. At 2:01 he shows a message and the guy that tried to steal him indeed seems to believe the youtuber (seller) stole his bike. Obviously the youtuber does not admit to stealing it, so there might have been a mistake.
EDIT: After 4 replies pointing out that this is in Canada: yes, I know. I did not say this was in Mexico, I just said he is Mexican (which is true, as you can check by going to his YouTube channel). I'm saying that he was raised in a place where these schemes are more common so you tend to be more aware of them (even after moving out).

Indeed. Apart from that, he has around 1.3 million subs apparently. He doesn't really need to steal (though yes, some do it for kicks) to be able to own such a bike as he can easily afford it. The revenue from such a large subscriber base is quite substantial, or at least substantial enough to be able to easily afford a top-tier bike, especially because that will likely bring in even more money. Not impossible that he stole it but rather unlikely I think, though it could still be that he bought a stolen bike of course if he bought second-hand

The bike guy is a Mexican Youtuber, and in that video, he talks about what happened leading to the chase. He talks about buying the bike and only having it for about 15 days and not liking it because he was having a lot of issues with it. He is new to the area and doesn't speak much english, so he didn't want to deal with it and decided to sell it.
He put it up on fb marketplace, and this lady was one of the interested people. He couldn't make it to their initial meeting, and he apologized. Then the lady wanted him to meet her somewhere at 3 a.m., which made him really suspicious.
He left it at that, but then, while at the skatepark, he received a message from her asking to meet again. He agreed but was extremely suspicious of how insistent she was being. He went from the skatepark to the meeting place and decided to leave his camera on in case something happened. Then that happens.
I think he might have been originally sold a stolen bike, but who knows.
For context, the guy is from Mexico. The way these people came at him is a known tactic by thieves in Latin America. So it's not too weird for him to be so self-aware and suspicious at the meeting place.

Alright I got a long comment but I think it’s a relevant story that happened to me a few years ago:
Jury duty in Atlantic City, 9am. Parking garage is about 2 blocks from the Court. I’m an average sized clean looking white boy in somewhat dressy clothes coming out of the courthouse on my walk back to the garage.
I walk passed a dude and could tell he was following a few steps behind. I also notice a heavy set dude a few paces ahead of me looking my way. So I got this guy trailing me and one ahead of me.
I notice a random person walking the same direction as myself crossing the street on an angle towards the opposite street corner, I decide to cut across with him. Dude 1 follows me across, dude 2 walks on a straight line towards me. I pick up the pace and get to the other side, trying to stay almost next to the random stranger i followed.
Now I’m on the corner of the block that the garage is on. As I make the left to turn the corner, a black car rolls up.. I hear “white boy, white boy!” (The guy I was sticking close to was Asian, so I knew I was their target) from the trailer, and big dude was almost at arms length. The back door to this little Honda Civic thing swings open and my heart immediately jumped.
A woman jumps out of the car and asked if I wanted to buy some tires. Dude 1 and 2 are standing next to her about 3 feet from me, and another dude popped out of the driver side.
Not sure how I thought of this, but I swung my head back the direction we came, pointed my finger and yelled “COPS!!!” They all turned their heads for a second and I disappeared the best I could into that parking garage.
That’s it. Thanks if you read it. Im gonna go back to work now.

u/Random_Imgur_User Jun 09 '23 edited Jun 09 '23
Def not a whimp. I've been in a similar situation, walking alone downtown late at night delivering food.
I had just dropped off an order and was on my way back to my car which was in a dingy old gravel lot that I knew I could park free in because the meter maids never checked it. It was about a 2 min walk from this apartment complex I was always delivering to on weekends because drunk college kids need their midnight Taco Bell.
I see a guy in a black hoodie start following me, and then another in a grey one comes out from an alley on the other side of the street and starts matching my pace.
At this point I figured they're casing me to see if I'm worth jumping, so thinking fast I pull out my phone, dial 911, and as soon as they pick up I just loudly start describing my exact location and what direction I'm walking in, and told the woman I need an officer asap.
I feel like my suspensions of them were confirmed, because as soon as I did that, black hoodie said something in Spanish to grey hoodie, and they both made a full 180° and started power walking in the other direction.
Cops got there, and they were kind of disappointed that no one was there anymore, but we're understanding when I told them I just felt really unsafe in the situation. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten robbed had I not made that call.

I tried buying some stuff off Marketplace. Seller originally wanted to meet in a Walmart parking lot but I asked the seller if he wanted to meet at the police station instead. Not for safety reasons but because it was literally 100 feet from my front door at the time so it would have just been really convenient to meet there. Dude immediately stopped responding and blocked me.
That response made me have more questions than answers. I was trying to buy a $50 Ikea TV cabinet, not an expensive electronic or something that might be able to be traced. Why did that sketch him out? Why wouldn't he just drop it off there instead? Those things aren't serialized like that. Did he somehow manage to steal a giant TV stand from Ikea? Did he steal it from someone's house? Why would you break into a house just to steal a cheap wooden TV cabinet? I had so many questions that ill never get an answer to.

They said they wanted something spooky! (Or in the case of a bike, would it be “spokey “?)

This thread is making me realize how many really dumb people are on reddit planting information like it's a fact. You're the first person I've seen even consider that they were gonna rob him

Why did they all dress like they were amateur burglars?

u/Alpineodin Jun 09 '23
also because the videos are fake lol. took a peep at his channel and he has tons of these style videos.
one from ten days ago has him almost crashing into a guy in a park. who's wearing no shirt and a balaclava. whom he beats up off screen. (the guy who also seems to not really speak english either)
this guy is making content in canada, but for a south american audience

Weird I had to scroll down so far to see someone saying it's fake.
It's obviously staged, there are a lot of people making these, either on bikes or dirtbikes, where every day shady things happen.

Video source: https://youtu.be/6ToJrqrKt9c These people were trying to rob him and he had a bad feeling about going to sell his bike to this woman. He had bought that bike from someone, it could've been stolen prior.

The guy was looking to sell the bike, but had a weird feeling about the buyer, and he was right. The video is actually from a mexican youtuber and he recorded his experience, glad it actually worked out at the end there. https://youtu.be/6ToJrqrKt9c

Why would he record himself selling something he stole tho? She’s trying to preoccupy him while her goons surround him

I'll quote u/redditisnotourfriend
Ah. Juan Francisco. This guy has way too many confrontation videos for him to not somehow be an instigator in the majority of them. Is it possible he is the victim in all these encounters? Of course. However considering the sheer amount of conflict scenes he has uploaded that's just improbable. It just makes no sense unless most of them are scripted or he is doing something to piss all those random people off. His videos make it seem like it's actually GTA.

It’s probably all scripted. The person running out at the end does it for me honestly. They’re all in on it.

Wrong, the whole video is actually on youtube. They were trying to steal the bike from him. He could've bought a stolen bike. https://youtu.be/6ToJrqrKt9c

But then why would the person who stole a bike and goes to sell it have a camera and film the situation and then publish it, doesn't seem like something someone guilty would do

I think the 3rd person may have not been involved but just saw it go down and thought he'd help
I also think that maybe they thought this was actually their own bike to start. For instance, their bike was stolen and they thought this bike he was selling was their property.

It seemed like maybe they think the bike is theirs because of the way she asks him where he got it and the way the guy chased him as though he had the right to. I wonder if he stole that bike and they were attempting to recover it.
