Man allegedly tries to steal bike in front of cop

[October 09, 2008]  FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- A Fargo man has been arrested for stealing a bike -- right in front of a police officer. Authorities said an officer was filling out a report in his patrol car when he looked up and saw 25-year-old man pull a bike from a bike rack and get ready to pedal away.

The bike rack was on the side of the police station. The man said the bike was his, but authorities said the bike was placed there in safe-keeping for a man who was being detoxified.
