Police preach proper approach after stolen bike miraculously recovered twice
NANAIMO — RCMP are using a Nanaimo woman’s good luck as a reminder to help combat the most common theft in the city.
Nanaimo RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien said it was miraculous enough a woman was reconnected once with the bike stolen from her yard in the city’s south end on Oct. 1. However, it was beyond belief when the bike was stolen a second time days later and again the woman was able to get it back undamaged.
“She should probably go out and buy a lotto ticket because it doesn’t happen,” O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW.
He said the case is a perfect teaching tool, since the woman didn’t report the initial theft to RCMP, only making a post in local Facebook groups.
