My Lectric XP Lite bike was stolen on 07/13/2022 at 8:06 PM on Yerba Buena Lane just north of Mission St. in San Francisco, CA.
8:06 PM Bike alarm caught people’s attention enough for someone to take this video. I lock the bike lock upside down so that you can't drill through the actual lock (an even faster method than this saw nonsense). The bike needs a key to start, so he hasn’t gotten very far.
8:41 PM I learn of the theft as I'm leaving Tropisueno restaurant's patio (the music was too loud for me to hear the bike alarm or saw). The employee that took the video shared it with me.
9:01 PM I saw the guy struggling to pedal the 40+ lb. bike on 5th St up to Market St then I lost him either on Eddy or Cyril Magnin. I call 911 as I was instructed by non-emergency to do if I saw him/the bike again.
10:45 PM After filing report at TL station I saw the guy again! McAlister towards Market. He was riding so slow I ran across the street, got in front of him, and grabbed onto the front basket. He tried to get me to let go of the bike. His “girlfriend” got involved, trying to pry my hands off the front bike basket. I asked for help from a passing couple, but they were understandably overwhelmed. The thief and his girlfriend rode off towards Market (she's on a black razor scooter). The cops showed up quick for this call as it's now considered assault, although I am fine. But seriously, the guy is just riding around the TL. I bet he can't sell the bike because he doesn't have the key to start it.
