Summary: Who loses when it can't be determined who lost ...

Suppose an individual leaves his bicycle outside a store and goes in.
A second individual arrives and does the same with his identical
bike. The two later return to find one missing ( stolen ).
Who loses his bike? Has the court ever ruled in such a case?
