Mopeds- They are coming for you
Looking over last nights police report, I noticed the following:
3rd Precinct
MOPED THEFT
8/4/10 12:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
3129 Stuart Ave.
An unknown person stole a moped from the above location.
3rd Precinct
MOPED THEFT
8/4/10 12:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
3121 Park Ave.
An unknown person stole a moped from the above location.
3rd Precinct
MOPED THEFT
8/4/10 3:00 a.m. – 5:26 a.m.
201 N. Belmont Ave.
An unknown person stole a moped from the above location.
If you own a moped, you might want to think about an alternate storage location.
Well now that you published the addresses of people who ride motorbikes, you’re doing the thieves’ work for them! :)
It’s public record and they were already stolen. I’m not helping anyone.
most likely they may get another one to replace them stolen one.. so you are indeed giving them a possible address. You are giving them ANOTHER way to get address other than a police public record.
Yep… I guess I am. Hopefully, they will have better security this time.
My guess is that they were chained outside in plain view. I see many in this neighborhood, so having three addresses is probably not much help. I would also guess that the replacements for those three are going to be much more guarded than most in the area.
I believe it is fair to say that we as a neighborhood need to be more alert for these thieves. Just 3 weeks ago a close friend of mine’s scooter was stolen from the Boulevard in plain site, so I feel that there has to be tougher laws addressing the issue or a better general alertness for these bandits. Lets get the jerks off the streets!!!
