Three very polite black men (17-18 years old) visited my home and asked to see my nice collection of motorized bicycles, which I did. I even let them ride one of my bikes which they certainly enjoyed very much. They thanked me and departed. They next day I went into the house after working in the front yard a couple of hours. About 15 minutes later I went into the garage and found my motorized Tour Easy Recumbent missing. Talked to neighbors who told me they saw the bike and pointed out the house they saw it taken to. Reported this to the police then went to the house myself but no luck. I later learned it was seen being taken to a very large apartment complex. That happened about 4 days ago and the bike is still missing.
It was a very nice recumbent with the Subaru motor mounted under the seat. It had a 9 speed drive which worked excellent on hills and level roads.
I felt angry it was stolen but even more bothered the way they did it, abusing my trust. Even more troubling, my wife saw them walking by our house today and looked over at the garage to probably see what else they could steal. This time the garage door was closed and will stay that way anytime I am not out side. I doubt I shall ever get it back.
I am mostly writing this as a reminder to anyone who reads this, your bike can be stolen even from your home. True, the garage door was open and the bike was not locked. It was about 11 am, in clear day light and a comunity with people close by. I was too careless and paid the price. Be more careful so this don't happen to you.
The bike was located in Fresno, California, near Marks and Shaw streets
