Looks staged to me. That would have to be one hell of a microphone that manages to pick up her voice clearly from about a block away and almost no ambient sound other than traffic rumble.I

Clearly fake stunt guys' demo reel. Sound is wayyyyyyy too good, picking her voice up clearly from a block away without directionality.

Also, the camera position is implausible. No one would go through the trouble of installing and maintaining a roof camera with that quality audio and have it pointed so it doesn't show any of the property it's supposedly securing. By amazing coincidence, all of the action occurs in precisely that frame.

I've watched a lot of security cam video in my job--it never looks like that, with all of the action nicely within the frame, even where the shoe lands.
That's obviously a staged stunt--he just happens to stop and fiddle around with stuff right in front of the camera that doesn't appear to be pointed at anything worth securing?
Seriously, if they overdubbed the sound, that tells you it's a production.
Please don't be so gullible. It's a nice piece of stuntwork, and a lousy piece of acting.

Sure, I'll get my bike back if given the opportunity, but not by crashing into it with another one of my bikes!

I get that you want to believe, but quit ignoring the obvious.

Fine, so if it's a real incident, the guy doing the tackling is an idiot, not for stopping the guy, but for doing it in a way that's really likely to break his own neck.
Obviously trained stunt people are obvious. They're very good at that part.
In case you didn't catch it, the "thief" positioned himself so he could land on the grass.

Tackling guy had a rather stilted cadence as if he was trying to remember lines, but he wasn't awful. The "thief" was just trying too hard to look pathetic, and didn't really pull off being stunned by a surprise hit at all. For some reason they have a little coda at the end where the tackle is slowed down. That makes it obvious he shifted his stance a little bit right before supposedly being blindsided

Might also be a film school class project. It's actually a neat bit of staging, everybody hits their marks perfectly. Oddly, that part's too good to be plausible as a security video, but it makes it pretty entertaining.
