EVERGREEN – A young pedestrian strode into JCSO’s mountain substation bright and early on June 22 to report the theft of his bicycle and point the finger at the possible thief. He said he’d purchased the economical conveyance last Christmas but hadn’t gotten around to riding it until quite recently – just in time, it seems, for somebody to snatch it from his porch. Fortuitously, during his hike down to the cop-shop he’d spied a male person wearing a baseball cap and dark-colored hoodie pedaling west along Buffalo Park Road atop what appeared to be his missing velocipede. Confronting the rider, he asked if the man “wanted to confess something.” The man didn’t, of course, but did “appear nervous” while explaining that he’d received the brand-new bicycle as a gift “a couple years ago.” Lacking concrete proof of the cyclist’s guilt, the complainant could do little but watch him ride away and hope that sheriff’s deputies could collar the crook based on his description of the stolen vehicle and its presumed stealer. Alas, until more evidence comes to light, investigators are just spinning their wheels.
