Stolen Bikes

Last night, a resident on Laurel Canyon, accidently left their garage door open overnight.  When they woke up in the morning, they found that 3 bikes had been stolen.  One of them (pictured below) was a custom fitted bike for a young girl who participates in triathalons.  Sadly, they discovered the bike had been stolen just 1 hour before her race!  They also found several "parts" to one of the bikes scattered in nearby streets.

Another family, a couple of weeks ago, had their 10 year old's bike stolen on Mill Valley Lane.  Police suspect kids or teenagers are doing this...but they need our eyes & ears to help them.  If you see kids wandering the streets really late at night, I encourage you to call the non-emergency
801-840-4000 number to report suspicious activity.

If anyone sees this bike in the neighborhood, please contact me at summitneighborhoodwatch@yahoo.com !  Let's keep our eyes open for our neighbors! 

The custom tailered bike looks like the picture below - except it had mountain bike style handlebars:

Let this be a reminder to check our garage doors & to turn on our porch lights before we go to bed!!!On your way to bed, please remember to check your garage door to see if it's been left open.  Look out the window & check your surrounding neigbor's...& if it's open CALL THEM!  I would much rather have a late night phone call then wake up to stolen property!!
