On 8/20 at approximately 5:45 am, I discovered that my electric bicycles were missing. I have lived at my current address for about five months, and during this time, my bicycles have been chained together under the stairwell in our shared alley. The alley requires either a physical key or access through the ButterflyMX app. I normally check on the bikes daily, and they were present before this morning. Other residents’ bikes remain in the same area. The missing bikes are both electric and have a distinctive Kryptonite red fabric and chain lock that is supposed to be unbreakable. An AirTag/location tracking had been placed in the silver Wing bike, but appears to no longer be working.
