“Dear PoPville,

Someone stole my cherished cargo bike (Workcycles Kr8) from our garage behind Lanier Pl in Adams Morgan the night of Thursday, May 24. As you can see in the picture, it’s a funny looking wheelbarrow-bike hybrid version of the family van, so I’m hoping someone in the community will see it and alert me (202-556-0665) or the police. I do have Tiles on both the bike and the keys, and got an alert Sunday night that the one for my keys was spotted in DuPont, but by the time we got there, it was gone.

PSA:

Please consider downloading the Tile app and leaving it running in the background – even if you don’t have one – so your phone can pick up a missing Tile, ping the owner with the updated location, and help recover a lost or stolen item! It’s anonymous (the owner won’t know who you are), unobtrusive (requires no further action on your part), and won’t drain your battery (just 2% over the last 7 days, according to my phone).

Thanks, all, and don’t forget to (double, triple, quadruple) lock up all your belongings!”
