Thief grabs bike from woman at MAX stop

There was a stolen bike listing that caught my eye the other day.

Apparently a woman was waiting for a MAX train when a thief ripped her beloved steed right out of her hands. The woman’s husband emailed these details:

[Liz and bike, pre-theft.]

“She was at the PGE Park MAX stop when a guy ran up behind her, grabbed the bike and took off. Several other people at the stop ran after him, but he got away. She called the police who responded. It happened at 3 in the afternoon when other people were at the same stop waiting for the train.”

We’ve had a brazen bike theft story recently, but this one takes the cake.

If anyone witnessed this incident, please get in touch and I’ll direct you to the police officer on the case.
