A close friend who lives at Post Harbour Island Apartments informed us today of an incident that occurred over the weekend involving the theft of pretty much every bicycle in their gated bike parking area.
Apparently, the thieves cut through the chain link fence then proceeded to cut the cable locks on ALMOST every bicycle in the storage area and got away with an estimated 20 bicycles.
If you were a victim of this attack and have had your bicycle serviced at our shop within the past 2 years, we should have your bicycle’s serial number in our customer database. Give us a call (813-225-1777) if you need that information so you can report it to the Tampa Police Department. If your bicycle is stolen and you are not able to give TPD the serial number from the bottom bracket (or head tube on older bicycles), your chances of recovery are EXACTLY 0%.
Incidentally, our friend who told us of what she found when she went to retrieve her bicycle from the crime scene did not get her bike stolen because it was secured with an On Guard U-Lock that she purchased from us at the time she bought her Jamis Coda from City Bike Tampa. The majority of bicycles that were stolen from the apartment complex were secured with cable locks, which are not worth the time it takes to put them on.
If you were a victim of this attack on Post Harbour Island Apartments over the weekend and would like to purchase a new bicycle from City Bike Tampa in the month of June 2011, we will throw in a FREE On Guard U-Lock ($40 value) with the purchase of your new bike and proof of residency.
