The video shows a man ride up on a Divvy bike. He stops and eats something, before riding away. Then, he comes back and takes the scooter.
"There's a lot bigger issues going on in the city in regards to police, and things that they have going on, so, I want to respect that. Keep this in mind. It's a scooter, but we work hard, and it's our property and these things aren't cheap," Vaysenberg said.
Last weekend, Chicago police issued a community alert, warning scooter owners about a series of thefts on the North Side.
