WOW-How'd they get a picture of it with no camera or fanfare?

Good point
Pure comedy gold. Thanks for this post. For some reason I missed that.
So while this hero was busy with his little PR mission who was patrolling his designated area?
"He" was, If something required his immediate response he would have left the bike, and the little boy, and gone on the call, he was 20' from his car, had a radio on him.

Long ago I had a boyfriend who lived in a relatively upscale area. He also had sports cars and motorcycles. The police would often stop by to talk bikes or cars for a while. Result: the police were considered friends, part of the community, and there was no hesitation in calling them if anyone saw something untoward.
Long, LONG ago the police used to walk beats (don't know if they still do) and make a point of getting to know the people in their "designated area". That can be just as much a part of the job as driving around looking for bad guys.

Well, that's simple - the photo was clearly taken out the window of a second story of the home whose yard it is. Probably the kid's Mom or Dad looked out the window and saw what was going on and grabbed their phone and took a shot.
Edit: I read the article again and noted this:
"Unbeknownst to Remy, a resident of the complex noticed his act of kindness, and took a picture."

No agenda here. Nope. Un uh. No way!
Where we last live they instituted POP - Problem Oriented Policing. A POP officer was assigned a patrol area and made it a point to have meetings with residents, get to know the businesses and usually gave out his cell phone number so he could be called directly if help was needed. They also got to know the resident bad guys. Crime rates decreased and residents felt more secure but sadly, the department discontinued the practice pleading budgetary issues. Predictably, crime went back up and has stayed there.
