My neighbor shared photos of these two thieves stealing a $5,000 mountain bike and other items from their backyard.

This is in the Hidden Valley neighborhood of SB on Palermo Street.

Took place around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday. The two thieves boldly went through a side gate into the backyard.

Hoping someone recognizes them. Please report to SBPD.

    • To me, it appears the photo’s could be of one person. If he/they entered via a side gate, I have to wonder why one is grabbing onto the fence. Where is the yard relative to the fence. Shirt of suspect in middle and bottom photo are similar and both wearing backpacks of similar color. Appears to be something in the suspect’s left hand, center photo. Only evidence I see of two possible suspects is in the top photo where one is wearing a jacket with a hood. As to a third suspect, my eyes definitely are not catching that. Why would #3 be on a bike and the other 1/2 walk? Hidden Valley is somewhat isolated, did they know what they were after or get lucky?

      • doulie: all 3 thieves are OUTSIDE the gate. The guy whose face can be seen is reaching toward the gate to go in to the backyard and steal the bike. In the photos where a face is visible, thief #1 is reaching toward the gate. Thief #2 is walking away from the gate and their back is visible. Thief #3 is in the street on a bike or motorcycle.

  2. To the victim(s): How awful you have to deal with such a terrible violation of your privacy and peace of mind. ANON: Thank you for posting this. I hope these scumbags are caught immediately. No-one should have to go through this. I hope the E-bike and other stolen items are all recovered.

  3. Fuck thieves.

    I hope they are stupid enough to try and sell it local.

    If they can let us know what bike to look out for it will help find the perps.

    For future peace of mind, if you are able this is exactly where a well trained, big dog is helpful.

    Good luck walking in the side gate without letting Cujo know.
