A videograb shows suspect cuddling the dog.

A thief in California came with a never-thought-before idea of befriending the security dog to steal a bike from a garage.

The unbelievable happening was recorded on the garage security camera.

The video begins with the thief trying to leave after stealing an electric bike when a Golden Retriever comes out of the house.

The thief puts the bike on stand and starts caressing the dog. He lovingly cuddles the dog and can be seen speaking to him.

Then he calmly takes the bike and leaves while the Golden Retriever lovingly looks at him.
