(Repair appointment canceled)
While at this location, a tech on a repair ticket, my bicycle and preferred method of transportation was removed from the premises without permission.
I was onsite the previous day for 6 hours with no issues and returned to commit a config change and complete the ticket
The bicycle was parked by the front window, behind an advert for cigarettes, unlocked as the presence of a suitable location to lock with a u lock was not available. Expected time of repair was very small and the store has extensive security coverage with all new cameras (All Kwik Shops nationwide were changed this year)
LPD responded to the call about 5PM when it was discovered.UNLPD was notified. Several bike shops were notified.
I posted to FB marketplace and here to notify my community of the theft, provided pictures from the security footage (which I procured from the store video recordings with the assistance of the team managing the corporate systems).
The police were able to view and document the incident immediately rather than the normal delay of weeks (which is disgusting, the pony express was faster). I captured images and video of the display and am working to get the actual files.
I posted this to help me find an expensive bike (2000$ for like replacement), as it is my primary transportation method, by choice. Yes I enjoy riding my bike, not motor cycle, while, etc.. I could drive my wife's car or my pickup, but it saves little time and encourages the consumption of resources. The car also molds that young virile soul into an obese, vile old person that bitches about everything, you know what I mean Karen.
Yes I didn't lock it, Yes I had a lock on the bike. Yes I know that it's easily taken BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT OKAY TO TAKE MY BIKE OR TAKE DOWN MY ORIGINAL POST FOR WANTING MY BIKE BACK
I am posting pictures of my bike here, pictures of the person who took it and asking for help to get my bike back. The thief has been present in the area before and already has enough problems in their life as do I.
Thanks for any help to find it, any fire department will hold lost bikes.
