The report and photo were sent by Michelle:

Electric Scooter stolen from the Safeway in Admiral Junction around 5:30 pm Wednesday Night. The owner had just taken it out of the box. The thieves used bolt cutters to remove the lock. Police have been notified. It is a Fat Bear Bike, two-seater, black. If you see it or know something, please call the police.

FRIDAY UPDATE: Found – see comment.

Convince me that NO ONE saw some AH using bolt cutters on an obviously locked bike at the Safeway in Junction? Explain how NO ONE questions this BS anymore?  

We need to question why people are thieves around here now? 

Depending on the lock, it may have been one that could be cut by smaller bolt cutters. Easier for a thief to conceal and deceive, even making it look like they were a rightful owner going about unlocking their scooter in a businesslike way, it’s a possibility.

I’m the non-proud victim of a couple of *nice* bike thefts and did some research into bike theft methods and how to counter them. Often use two locks simultaneously, different types so the same tool cannot defeat each of them.

Sorry this happened, svcks bigtime.

We found the bike! Thankful to everyone who helped us find it and retrieve it!
