An unfortunate incident in Grand Forks, B.C. has left a 96-year-old man without his electric bike. The bike, valued at $3,000, was stolen from the front entrance of the senior’s community where it was securely locked.
The heartless thief cut the lock and damaged the bike rack to steal the e-bike. This act not only took away the senior’s mode of transportation but also shattered his trust in the community and affected his mobility.
The stolen bike, a red Giant Momentum E-Plus model, is currently missing, and authorities urge the public to keep an eye out for it. It is distressing to think that someone would commit such a theft within a senior living residence.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability that seniors face and the necessity of community vigilance. It is essential for everyone to be aware of suspicious activities in their neighborhoods and report any information that could aid in recovering the stolen bike or identifying the perpetrator.
