I do believe this is theft...might be well intentioned and the owner *might* get their bike bike but what does the person do if the owner can't be found? Bottom line is that the person cut the lock and took a bike that does not belong to them.
But, it may work out for the best in the end provided the lock cutter actually gets in contact with the owner. He/She should have provided a real picture of the bike in question though and contact Riv to do a serial number search. I would not do what this person has done though.
