A group of men in the Kensington section of Brooklyn at 2 a.m. this past Wednesday morning chopped down a mature ginkgo tree with an axe to steal a bike. It was captured on security video.
"How far will New York thieves go to steal a $50 bike
locked with a $10 cable lock?"
"This far."
This is a picture of the tree the morning after.
