WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Rad Runner Plus e-bike theft on video

| Crime | West Seattle news

Jane‘s e-bike was stolen overnight in the north Morgan Junction area:

My Rad Runner Plus was stolen from in front of my condo — 44th Ave between Juneau and Raymond St. My neighbor had this video of the thieves taking it at 4:18 am:

It was locked to itself and didn’t have the battery on it. My condo isn’t visible from the street. At any rate, it’s a silver Rad Runner Plus, with brown saddle bags, seats, handlebars.

It had a green rubber monster attached to the kid’s grab bar on the back for my son. I also just had hydraulic brakes installed for added safety. My son and I are heartbroken and would love any help the community can provide in locating our bike.

Police report # is 24-271836.

If it’s not visible from the street someone either saw you going there frequently or they came there and saw the bike. Either way check all videos from the week or month not just from this incident and see who came by. Maybe one of the neighbors had some guest. Also the woman looks like has something written on the back of her sweater and is wearing shorts. So probably someone who lives close by. Do rad bikes have serial numbers you can lock?

They must have loaded it into a car (likely truck) nearby. There’s not much traffic around at 4:18am so post flyers or ask your neighbors for car footage from cameras around the block at that time. Sorry this happened. It sure looks like they knew it was there and planned it ahead of time.

Tall fences….make something something. I’ve got notes out to my really good(!) neighbors and one of them also got a video of the woman in the above shot walking a black dog around midnight. They def. knew it was there. It’s anyone’s guess where they took it but any clues would be appreciated.
