what?

Just when I think I've seen it all, I see a man riding his bike carrying a full size vacuum cleaner and a sewing machine. 

What I want to know is, who is the person that phoned this guy and needed those things without delay knowing full well the man would have to bring them over on a bike?

That or he nabbed them without fulling thinking through his get away plan. 

These are the things that keep me awake at night.
