The perfect crime

If they were stealing this bike, they were the best thieves I've met. A bunch of guys, in Adams Morgan, trying the get a bike up to the pole to which it had been locked. The bike is nice and its owner has tied it up to a large parking pole. A thin metal pole with some signs at the top. The guys are pushing the bike up trying to get it pass the top of the pole. They've put a guy in equilibrium on a nearby garbage can and he is pulling the bike up while his friends are pushing it up from below.
This is not a fast operation and soon a crowd has gathered around them, taking pictures and watching. If these are thieves, they're the best as nobody will ever suspect them. Brilliant.
