OFC Cameron just showed up after a 5 minute call and gave me a case number. Checked the tapes and then went up to the pawn shop. Despite the fact that the bike was stolen I feel pretty good about NHPD right now.

Here's a video of the guy steeling the bike.

Did you lock the bike? If so, what type of lock did you use?

No Lock Anon. I know. Not smart.

Will keep an eye out. Do you need a loaner bike in the meantime? I have a beach cruiser and MTb if you need

Looks like several people came out or went in while he was standing there. Is there something posted inside to alert customers about the theft? In case they don't know about SCF... And it's not Mobil anymore.

Thanks Pam. Good point. The police did come out and the owner can ID the kid so hopefully we will get a call in the next couple of days.

Kip,
Thanks for the offer! My mom actually just dropped us off a loaner. (I told her I'd light it up for her as a reward.)

What did we just learn about locking up our bikes?

Thanks Common Sense,
While I agree that I should lock my bike that does not close the issue.
The bike is still stolen and having the issue open may help to close it if someone sees the bicycle.
Thanks for your insight.

Ben,

Can you include the make / model of your bike so if we see it rolling around town we can notify you or the cops? Do you know the registration number?

Chris

Here you go Chris. Thanks!

lets roll around at night this week and see if we can find it...

Sounds like a plan! Thanks.
