San Diego - A bicycle thief stopped his mission to cuddle and pet a dog at his victim's house, a surveillance clip of the home shows.

Not an average bike

According to the San Diego Police Department, an unknown white male suspect entered a garage in the Pacific Beach neighbourhood on July 15 and made off with a 2019 black Electra 3-speed bicycle.

"It, isn't your average bike; it's distinct, featuring “8-ball” caps on the tire valves, an 8-ball logo on the frame, and a rear wheel frame marked with a chequered black-and-white pattern," said the police.

"In a rather peculiar turn of events, as the suspect was about to escape, he paused to pet the household dog who had entered the garage," police added on the Facebook post.

The suspect was described as a white male, last seen wearing a blue and white hat, grey shirt, blue shorts, and orange athletic shoes.

He was carrying a black and blue backpack.

"You're so cool," the man told the dog.

"The coolest dog I've ever known! I love you, too. You're a sweetheart.," said the robber to the dog.

Most people observed that it was very strange that instead of attacking the man who stole his master's bike, it befriended the total stranger and didn't do anything to stop the robbery
