ANOTHER Mitsubishi-driving bike thief!
A reader just forwarded me a link to a new theft report on craigslist that sounds VERY SIMILAR to one we received a couple weeks back. Check this out:
My buddy just walked in to his apartment in Clarksville to find a guy stacking up all his electronics and his bikes. The guy walked out saying "don't call anyone", and walked out. Here's the description of the guy:
Avg height black male 5'10" give or take
White Mistubishi Mirage with a strap on bike rack on the backWatch out if you live in an older apartment complex in that area. Call the cops if you see him!
Hm, another white Mitsubishi. Wonder if it looks anything like this one. The plot thickens.
I had a guy in a pickup pull up next to me on my bike yesterday on Cesar Chavez and try to sell me an entertainment system he "got from his friend."
I've had this happen before when I'm in a car...could be some kind of con or mugging set up, or just the regular old sale of stolen goods. But glad to see burglars aren't discriminating against bicyclists!
I turned him down...but he was persistent.
Popular car for the criminal set, it seems. I just saw a white Mirage pulled over by about 4 cop cars on Far West across from Austin Regional Clinic. Didn't see a bike rack or catch the plate # though.
By the time I'd circled back 15 minutes later to get a better look, everyone was gone.
