It seems like there’s been a rash of bicycle/scooter thefts around the city, and sadly, our neighborhood has not been immune. A neighbor on the 600 block of S. Laurel Street reported that her Gary Fisher bicycle, pictured above, was stolen right off her porch just last night. Please keep an eye for it and thievery in general.
