"Mr. Jenkins, do you know why you've been called into HR?"

Jenkins "No Sir."

HR "Did you or did you not, tell your secretary that to enter your office she will need to pull your crank?!"

Officers responding to the scene were tipped off to the identity of the cyclist burglar by how he attempted to cover up the break-in. Later they saw a cyclist with his foot continuing to slip off the left side of the bike. He was not hard to chase down due to problems pedaling his escape.
