— -- Here is a recap of this week's episode of "What Would You Do?" with ABC's John Quiñones:
"What Would You Do?": Bike Thief? - Portland, Oregon -- In a city like Portland, Oregon, bikes can be more desirable than cars. With countless trails, paths, and routes available to bikers, this mode of transportation reigns supreme in the great Northwest. What will Portlanders do when they spot our actor trying to saw a lock off a bike in a park? What will reactions be when the person with the hacksaw is a white man vs. a black man? What if the thief is a beautiful young woman? Watch what happens:
"What Would You Do?": Homeless - Portland, Oregon -- A Good Samaritan brings a homeless man into a bar. She puts down $20 and tells the bartender that she would like to buy the man a meal. Once the Good Samaritan leaves, the bartender pockets the money and tells the homeless man that he needs to get out. "There's a soup kitchen down the street! Stop harassing my customers!" When the homeless man objects, explaining that the person already paid for him, he replies "You're bothering the other customers, you look terrible, you smell, having you here is bad for business." As the insults continue, will anyone stand up for the homeless man? Will they tell the bartender to give the homeless man his money back? Will they let him be thrown back out onto the street? Watch what happens:

Watch what happens:

Will our espresso-snark meet his match with the people of Portland, or will citizens stand by and take the ridicule? Watch what happens:
