Another scooter stolen!

Monday night we had another scooter stolen, this time from the Lori Lynne where we live. The last time a scooter was stolen it was parked at the Fleming Hotel, with the key in it--and we got it back a couple of days later. This time, it was stolen from where we live, with no key, so they may have stolen it just for the parts. It will be more difficult to find this one, as there are many of these yellow bikes around the island.

This bike has the number 18 on the back bumper, and also had a black (with bright yellow spots) helmet in the seat well.

We don't use these bikes very often, just when we travel around the island, or go to the airport. Time will tell whether the police, or some local, will find our bike.
We have noticed that as the economy here gets worse, the amount of crime goes up. Hopefully the casinos being built here will help the economy a little.

have you reported your loss to the police?

well, i really hope that whoever stole it will return it.. and I am very sorry for your loss; you guys are our visitors in our island and the people of this island shouldn't be stealing your things. they should respect you and your possessions. if i have any information i will inform you as soon as possible


Sincerely!

We did report the theft to the police, and gave them photos of the scooter.

This is the second time a scooter has been stolen from us on Tinian. The last time, the police found the scooter two days later, hidden in the brush. Perhaps they will have the same luck this time.
