Luke Hines has shared his encounter with a brazen thief.
The former My Kitchen Rules star posted a video to Instagram Stories showing security footage from the secure parking lot of his Sydney apartment building.
A man in a hoodie could be seen sneaking in as Luke drove in at 7am, looked at some parked bikes and opened a door.
The man later returned to the scene and used bolt cutters to cut the safety chain off a bicycle and wheeled it out of the garage.
Luke, who lives in Bondi, said he felt something was wrong and inspected the area before locking the entrance door, but he didn’t miss anything.

He later reviewed the footage and realized the opportunistic thief had slipped in after driving his car through an automatic door.
The man entered just seconds after Luke left the parking lot, brandishing what Luke described as a weapon in the shape of a metal bar, which was left behind.
He said the building is very secure and requires a PIN to enter, but the man managed to sneak in.
Fortunately, he was unharmed, but the thief managed to make off with the expensive bicycle.

Luke appeared in My Kitchen Rules in 2014, which he won with friend Scott Gooding.
He is also a fitness coach who once worked with Angelina Jolie, as well as a TV host and cookbook author.
The fitness guru made headlines when he gained weight during the pandemic lockdowns and then managed to shift 10kg in 10 weeks.
Luke weighed 85kg before Covid, but ballooned to 100kg thanks to eating treats as if they were regular meals and poor exercise habits.
“When I decided to lose weight, I wrote down everything I did and documented it to help others with their weight loss,” Luke told FEMAIL.
“I learned that it’s all about a strong mindset.”
