Scooter thefts are on the rise—with seven incidents since June—and the culprit’s got a twist: instead of hotwiring, they’re surgically carving out ignitions. Spotted across West Brompton, North Sheridan, and Lake Shore Drive, this thief’s been active from midday to dusk. He’s a 50-something in a white shirt, blue shorts, and fanny pack. If you’ve seen anything, report it anonymously at CPDTIP.com using case P26-3-028. Community eyes could be the key to catching this tech-savvy crook.
