Winona, MN: 5:13 p.m — Black Trek electric bicycle stolen!

[LockH]

Wednesday afternoon, from outside Walmart store. (No other details, but maybe looks like this

By the way... Local (Toronto) Ebiker group forum has sub-forum titled "My Bike Has Been Stolen!". But not (yet) on ES?

First topic/thread there titled "Standardized TERA "My Bike Has Been Stolen" Report".

1) Time and date and location (as near as possible) of theft.
1a) Locked to a fixed object (Y/N)? Type of lock?
2) Name and model name/number of bike/trike.
3) Date purchased, and from whom (which retailers name, or?).
4) Any and all distinguishing features, marks and blemishes.
5) (Hopefully) One (more better) very recent picture of the bike/trike. (Pic sizes on this forum limited, but original pic can be HUGE/detailed.)

I think what steps recovery already taken.
reported to police
ad on Kijiji and/or Craigs List
reported to dealers
posted on telephone poles, forum boards, etc.
any nearby businesses with security footage

Ways in which customized and same but where/in ways not obvious.
colour
serial number (frame and wheel)

Maybe it's time ES had similar?

Actually? I see there is one Trek bike store in Winona (Adventure Cycle & Ski. 178 Center Street), and there are currently FOUR flavours of "Trek Electric Bicycles" (three of them black):

(Winona population 27,592 at the 2010 census. Wonder exactly how many "black Trek electric bikes" they've sold there?
