What Would You Do? Bike Theft (White Guy, Black Guy, Pretty Girl)
VladCantSleep
A hidden-camera social experiment in a park where three people try to steal a bike in the open: a white teenager, a black teenager and a young woman. It records how bystanders react to each.
Used in threads on bias and social engineering as a vivid example of how bystanders treat different thieves.
