I grew up in NYC. I simply can't believe you left your bike out on a rack. My bike shop told me: "If you want to leave your bike out anywhere, buy one lock for each 5 minutes you intend to be away from it." Super glad you got your bike back, great story!

My guy. You tell stories so well, my heart was racing like it was my bike that had been stolen and I was about to steal back!

Such a great story! I was at the edge of our seat the whole time. Despite not having filmed it at the time, your storytelling alone made for a great video. Glad you got your bike back!

So glad you got it back safely. I also have some bike recovering stories, but mine are all helping to recover other people's bikes. With some extensive digital forensics and Google maps, myself and the bike owner were able to scare the suspect into dumping the bike at a local PD.

Great story and so glad you got it back. Every moment is a moment to learn.

Awesome video, Morley! Glad you were able to get your bike back, and even better that you found a way to share the story with all of us. Kudos! 🎉

I absolutely love the huge ass boltcutters als background decor. Great story and a great telling!

Just the fact that you’d attempt to steal your bike back (involving pedalling furiously) in flip flops boggles my mind! Great video man!

Amazing story, I’m glad you recovered it.

Looks like you got a video out of it after all! I love the story and the storytelling!

Great story! Glad you got your bike back! I was really hoping at the end you were gonna show if any text messages after the guy arrived at the meeting spot. Did you tell the guy that it was your bike and that you took it back? Dying to know!!! lol.

Love it, especially the big bolt cutter on your wall. Statement piece!

Bro the story telling got my heart pumping ngl

I live a rough hour away from Toronto and we assume all the bike thieves come from Toronto to steal our bikes while all our thieves go to Toronto steal your bikes...

I still remember this coming up in CLAMP. Great retelling Morley, and a lesson or two about life construed too ;)

Omgosh talk about anxiety through watching this video! 🤣🤣 I'm so happy you got your bike back! Great video even without recording it! 😃

To live above a pot shop and directly next to a sushi bar sounds like a literal dream

I feel your pain. My bike was also stolen in Toronto in 2020. I made a quick stop the Michaels at Richmond and John around 2pm on a Saturday. I come out and I don't see my bike on the bike parking pole thing. But I do see some cops there because some good Samaritan reported the theft to the police. I filed a report but I knew I wasn't going to see that bike again. It didn't turn up on Kijiji or anywhere. I bought a new bike a few weeks later and upgraded to a much better/more expensive lock. I still do get nervous leaving my bike parked somewhere for too long.

I had my bicycle stolen while I was a middle school student living with parents in Panama. I got in the bad habit of not locking it up at home and someone stole it from our carport. Six months later my dad and are driving past the police station and my dad sees a bike with blue packing tape wrapped around it in the impound lot. We go in and talk with one of the officers. Long story short, three thieves had stolen my bike then one of them called the police claiming that one of his buddies stole it from him. The police impounded the bike until someone could bring a receipt for the bike. We went home and dug through boxes of receipts until my mom found it and two days later my dad took the receipt back down to the police station and got my bicycle back. Thank you for triggering a 50+ year old memory. BTW, I'm glad you got your bicycle back!

You're such a vibrant and interesting character! Great story!

Goood story time! Thank you morley! Sometimes its the hard stuff that makes us a little bit better.

That was a surprisingly good video! You were really able to show the excitement of it all. I could absolutely relate to all your thoughts. Well done! I wouldn't have been able to confront the thief either. Did he contact you afterwards?

“Wait! This potentially life threatening moment of my life would make an excellent YT video and get millions of views!” Sign of the times.

Glad you got your bike back Morley! The only video I would have loved to see is the reaction of the thief when he returned to an empty rack!

Glad that you got your bike back and are safe!

I stole my bike back from a thief too! Back in the 90’s, in Oshawa. Idiot lived in the building next door. Oh, AND he was in the same college program as me. LOL, what a tool. Glad you got your wheels back Morley!

Really well done video!! Hard to believe it was two years ago. Wow time flies!!

Great Story!! ride safe always!!! I hope you also make a tutorial how you design 3d parts on your apps. I got into 3d printing thru you! Fan from the Philippines!

I congratulate you on getting your bike back. Did the thief ever try to contact you after that???

2 years later and I'm glad to know you got your bike back!ima need to learn from that now

Holy crap I was nervous for you listening to your story. Very cool!

Fantastic storytelling! Will definitely have some questions during your next Q&A

I have done the same journey as you but in reverse. Started as a woodworker, then worked on restaurant and now I'm a swe. Loving the new career so far.

An amazing story, thanks so much for sharing 😊

That ending haha, loved it! Keep going Morley!

I was hooked from the first beats of the intro music! what an adventure!

Oh man, one of the things I hate most in my life is unjust and robbery. I am glad you had the guts to get it back and God protects you always from bad people 🙏 🙏🙏

I can't believe Kevin Costner is one of your patrons!

loved the video, wish i could have gotten the person that stole my bike down by the toronto brickworks, really messed me up losing it. Thanks for a little bit of closure on it atlest!

This was very exciting, I was shaking with anticipation lol 👏🏻👏🏻

Interesting thought exercise, at what price is the tipping point where the bolt cutters become expensive enough that you just pay the man and don’t even mention the theft? As a non-confrontational / risk averse person, myself, it would certainly cross my mind. I think he wanted $130? If the cutters were $130 do you just buy them anyway as an FU to the thief?

Awesome story but totally triggered by the boltcutters not hanging square 🤣🤣😭

Cara, tu é um gênio. Eu assisto você aqui no Brasil (com S, pois Brasil é com S e o mundo tem que saber) encontrei seu conteúdo buscando por móveis de paletes, consigo praticar meu inglês com você e essa história me pegou demais. Eu morri de rir. Valeu irmão 🇧🇷

Used this video to steal back my buddies one wheel for him!!! The decoy wallet worked!!!!

And this is why I have at least 2 lock on my bike if I’m leaving it outside anywhere for longer than 10 minutes. A solid d lock and a heavy chain lock, plus a cable to secure the front wheel, both wheels on through axles not quick releases (more secure plus through axles last longer). But in general I try not to leave it locked outside.

Cool story and those drinks looks good

great storytelling morley! what a story haha.

I came out of BART once to find some kid trying to get my bike lock off where I’d locked it. He actually had the balls to argue with me about whose bike it was and then retreated to yell insults at me - I guess to make himself feel better for being totally caught red handed and looking like an idiot. Needless to say that was the first and last time I locked my bike outside a Bart station

great story packed in a nice video. thanks

Subscribed to watch your project videos but I didn't expect it to turn into Casey-esque vlog videos. I will wait for the project videos.

The ending was amazing 😂

nice story telling, love the way u bring it!

Love the video and the story !!!

Just clicked onto this video. Don't know what happened to your bike yet But I actually had my motorized bicycle and heavily modified pocketbike stolen from my house. Someone sent me the fb sale ad for the pocket after they were stolen. I met up with them and took it back, then had them take me to my bicycle to get that back too. Live streamed the whole thing on fb lol

What a great story men 😂😂😂

Great story!! Bravo!! 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your surprisingly a great story teller 😅👏🏼👏🏼

Suspenseful much. Glad you took matters into your own hands dude🙏👏

Morley: "Toronto is the bike theft capital of the world" Argentina: "Hold my beer" We not only get our bikes stolen all the time here, in some cities it even gets towed by the city because it's been "parked chained to a public tree". They cut the chain off, take the bike and if you weren't there at the time, you don't even realize it was towed, not stolen.

One of my favorite stories!

Fun story with an insipring end. Good job Morley

Morely, GREAT STUFF!!!

i knew the was a story about those blue bolt cutters

As a Dutchie I've always been told, make sure your lock costs more than your bike ;)

Cool story. Did the thief ever contact you? Also, what happened to the fake wallet? Do you still have the note you put in it?

I was waiting at the end to see if you ever heard back from the thief or was that it.

Nice video, Morley! I like the handwriting and drawings! Also, that ending was funny!

Good on ya! Did the thief call to see where you had got to? I bet your neighbors plan would have worked too 👍

When I realised this was a storytime I almost exited the video. But for some reason I decided against it and I'm glad I did as your a great storyteller. Great video even with no footage

Great story Morley!

oh my God what a long story

This was a great video, you're a great storyteller!

Enjoyed this tale telling style video! One question:at the end did you call the thief back to tell him you beat him? :)

Morley! Really killer storytelling my man! hope you’re well

That was a great story

Great job telling the story!

did the guy not call you asking where the bike was ?

So was there ever anymore dialogue from the guy in regards to why you didn’t show up lol?

Did you hear from the guy after you got it back?

Fair play man I’d of done the same if I was in your shoes keep up the videos dude im looking forward to plenty of your wood working ones 👌

Great video!!!

Denzel Curry what a great choice

Should’ve returned the bolt cutters

Lmao bro ur like me fr 💀 Only difference is that my anxiety would jam my legs I have few questions tho... Btw how far was the thief from your location when you finally were able to cut the lock and run away? How long did it took to cut the lock? And where did you stored that big cutter? Did you had a really big backpack with you? Also how did you travelled to that location? Did you just walked there? Was it nearby?

Very kool

Did he call u back since he knows ur number?

Fuck. Yeah. Awesome. You tell it way better than your brother. Safety first. Being more aware of your surroundings rather than the content was probably in your best interest regardless of where you were in your life at that time.

this is a great video

great vid, story, and ending. Do a reenactment, who's going to know, 👍✌🖖🥃 I noticed a Kevin on that page, is it a coincident or the actor himself? maybe he'd star in it.

YEHAWWW

..interesting

Nice story

Dude has a way of making a 5 minute story 15 minutes. I'm yawning halfway through.

Liked, shared and commented 🍻

I mean, is this job police should do?

Second, Great video!

But wait! What did the original theif say when he got there and it was gone??? Surely he contacted you??
