Bikes Worth $17,200 Reported Stolen Sunday

Four expensive bicycles worth more than $17,000 have gone missing from a Central Avenue garage, law enforcement officials disclosed on Tuesday.

The victim, a 44-year-old female, reported the alleged burglary happened a few minutes before midnight on Sunday, Aug. 5.

According to Liz Wylie, spokeswoman for the Mountain View Police Department, the victim rents a detached garage, along with other people, from a townhouse on the 300 block of Central Avenue and stores her bikes there.

Embarking on an out-of-town trip, the victim took two of her six bikes with her. When she returned, however, the other four bikes—two light blue Ellsworth bikes worth $5,000 each, a black Canfield Bros bike worth $5,000, and a white Felt bike $1,200—were gone, explained Wylie.

The police continue to investigate the alleged crime.

"There was no sign of forced entry," Wylie said. "We do not know if someone who rightfully has access to the garage stole them, or if someone accidentally left the garage open and someone else stole them, or if someone somehow forced the door up and stole them."
