“Right after your post about owning a scooter too.”
“Dear PoPville,
Our much beloved Honda Ruckus was stolen last night from the corner of Summit Pl and Quarry Rd NW in Lanier Heights. I had a heavy duty Kryptonite lock/chain and the thieves cut right through it.
My boyfriend filed a police report this morning. Apparently, another scooter was stolen two blocks away last night on the corner of Summit Pl and Clydesdale. They smashed the area around the ignition, so I have a suspicion that it was some kind of scooter stealing ring that is only interested in parts.
If you see a red Honda Ruckus with a Montana license plate (which has no doubt been removed), please call the police and report the location. The black seat has a large chunk missing from the front of it, exposing the yellow foam.
I’ve scoured Craigslist in hopes the thieves are dumb enough to list it there. I also made a post on NextDoor. I’m fully expecting to never see it again, though. Heartbreaking as I loved that scooter…my boyfriend brought it all the way from Montana only to get it stolen less than a year in to living in DC.”
