WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Bicycle stolen outside store

Sent tonight by Beth:

My daughter had her bike stolen outside PCC this evening. (She was there buying ingredients to make me a birthday cake for tomorrow ❤️.)

It’s a white Bianchi Boardwalk with a Topeka rack on the back (for panniers), with straight handlebars with black grips. It also had a bike helmet hanging on it.

The [temporary] police incident report is T00009476. We would truly appreciate people keeping an eye out for it.

    I am sorry her bike was stolen but her good heart for you is the treasure!

    That stinks! I hope you have a good birthday and that everyone enjoys the special cake made by your daughter and that the bike is found as soon as possible.

    Was it locked? The reason I asked is that I park my bikes at the rack there when shopping frequently, and if people are cutting locks I might stop doing so.

    So sorry to hear this. I was driving home from work at 1:30AM this morning and saw a man with a headlamp riding this bike Southbound on West Marginal Way at the intersection of Highland Park Way SW. It was clearly the sized incorrectly for his height and I had the thought that it was certainly stolen… If you head down that direction you might be able to find it outside of an RV or tent.

    Sorry to hear that your daughter’s bike was stolen, I ride my bike to the PCC often. Was the bike locked?

    Just saw a man with a similar looking bike rummaging through my recycling bin on the street. White, mid to late 30s, dark facial hair, wearing a black shirt and dark backwards baseball cap. Headed north on Delridge Way towards Alaska Street (by the Delridge Playfield) around 3:10pm.
