Yeah that’s assault. And putting it on youtube is stupid. I get it, thieves suck, but honey trapping so you can beat the crap out of people is assault, no matter how much they deserved a beating.

Lets see, if you don’t put a lock on it, it is baiting, but if you do, it is not ..... seems like progressive logic.

I’m torn on this one. On the one hand they purposely set out a bicycle as a trap for thieves and beat them, on the other hand the thieves attempted to steal the bicycle. The thieves are still thieves and were caught by the owners.
This particular article forgot to mention that they had already been robbed 3-4 times after recently moving in to the neighborhood, before they did this. And being CA, it's any robbery under $1M is ignored by the cops, if I remember correctly?
Really, the only thing they did wrong was record it and post it on YouTube. Dumb.

law enforcement is allowed to lie to people to entrap them into saying things. Seems entrapment is a law enforcement tool.
