Good afternoon everyone!

My regular commuter e-bike was stolen from my front porch between 1:30 AM and 12:30 PM on July 31st. It was locked up on the front porch, so there was effort to break the lock. It's a heavy-ish bike with distinctive add-ons, so any eyes in the city and nearby areas would help a lot.

I made a Reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gso/s/6NOO4qvagf

I will also attached some photos. Details:
- It's a Large and it's Gray
- It has a hand pump attached to the battery in the middle
- There are two head lights attached; one native headlamp and one Bell LED front light.
- I had just attached a drink holder to the bottom of the center frame bar.
- They stole it with battery @ around 70% so any suspicious riders without power will be a tip off.


I have filed a police report and am just looking for eyes in the community in the nearby Piedmont riders radius. Bought it secondhand from the marketplace, but it *is* registered to my email through the Specialized app; If for some reason they left it on and I was nearby, it would connect to my phone...if only I could be so lucky...

Thanks Khrystoph

UPDATE:

My girlfriend and I have been calling pawn shops all day. Riverside Pawn had someone come in yesterday trying to sell it, but they couldn’t sell without the charger so no info was captured.

We’ve triangulated the possible position to the southern Greensboro area unless that was just the first place they tried.
