Robbery foiled by 6 chihuahuas

So this image only relates to sustainability in two significant ways. One, this thief is getting away on a bicycle, helping to reduce CO2 emissions. Two, our dogs scared him out of our house which means I don't have to go out and buy anything he would have potentially stolen reducing unneeded consumer spending.
I saw this guy stepping out of my apartment as I was coming home. I came in to see if anything was stolen but nothing had been taken, not even a $20 bill that was sitting on the counter. I grabbed my camera and run around the corner to see if he had attempted to walk off. I saw him walking his bike and as soon as he saw me he got on his bike. As he saw me come around the next corner he thought he would pick up the pace, that's when I took off after him hoping to catch him, however, I was on foot, running with a big camera. Best I could do was get a shot of him and yell, "Don't let me catch you on my street again fucker!"
I called the cops and one passed by my house within 30 minutes, but that's all he did, pass by the house, so that he could have cars towed. It was a little interesting that what was more important than breaking and entering was improperly parked cars. Another officer came an hour later.
