It was 11:01 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21, when two men were standing in a residential area next to a parked black car. The trunk of the car was open while it was searched from the inside. In addition, they had their cell phones on hand.

As the security camera recording shows, the alleged thief took advantage of the fact that the men were distracted and one of them was holding his cell phone with only his left hand and at the edge of the street.
