Description
Bike thief stole a bike last night and got away from cops. He came back at midnight to retrieve the bike that he had left, for the one he had stolen, and had once again gotten away from the cops. He came back this morning and retrieved his bike and was spotted casing Foster St. He is Black, 5'9" wearing a brown hoodie with a black coat over it that has red stripes on the sleeves. He was seen walking a red Specialized mountain bike with a plastic bag over the seat. If you see him call NHPD and you can tell them it's related to case# 18068

1. Vintage folding bike. Victoria in blue.
2. Vintage Raleigh in black, a little beat up, but in a good way.
I saw a kid riding the folding bike a couple of days later whipping down Grove Street against traffic.

Next door the hired Property Manager posted a sign on the building, "property managed by so so,and call # etc." It was a bad idea as "applicants" came around at all hours, some with vans and pick up trucks and stood around,then ran with something, in one case an unlocked bike.

to the above commenter,
this has nothing to do with yale or common sense.
sure, some people leave their bikes around with an easy-to-cut cable lock or no lock at all. these lead to crimes of convenience, likely.
however, mine was stolen from an indoor hallway locked in my apartment building. recently, several people have posted on elm city cycling that theirs have been taken from inside garages, basements, tucked-away backyards, porches.
this likely is the work of repeat offenders, not afraid of tresspassing, and breaking and entering.
yes, NHPD has a lot to worry about. but do not diminish the theft of a bicycle to less immediate a crime issue. first, bikes can be someones primary mode of transportation. second, they can be very expensive. third, again, a criminal breaking and entering into your living space is a terrifying way to be violated.

Does NHPD ever do bike theft "stings"? Plenty of info out there about how to do them.
Taking away someone's form of transportation to work is a serious crime against their livelihood -- which is presumably why auto theft is considered such a serious offense.
