Video showed the man in dark jacket and jeans sidle up to the bike while looking around to see if he was being watched.
He then jumped on the saddle and made off.
The lock was later found yards away.
It happened in Swansea on Monday, (16 Mar), as reported by NeedToKnow.
Sumit said: “I had parked it just in front of the shop and also put a lock on it around 4.30pm.
“I went inside for five to 10 minutes and it wasn’t there when I got out.
“I found the broken lock a couple of steps away from the shop.
“Please keep an eye out and also, be careful everyone.
“I only bought it three months ago.”
