Description of the theft
On March 15th, 2022 I went to the LA fitness gym 3827 Overland Ave, Culver City,CA 90232 and arrived at 6:30 PM. I parked my bike with a U-Lock in front of the Rite-Aide on the bike rack and took the front wheel off and attached it to the bike frame on the rear triangle with my helmet. When I left the gym at 9:00pm I discovered that my bike was stolen from the bike rack. The thief must have cut the U-Lock and taken everything.
I immediately went inside the Rite- Aid on 3802 Culver Center, Culver City, CA90232 and asked if I could review the security camera footage positioned outside on the front door that over looks the bike rack. James from Rite Aide told me he'll have to contact the security agent and told me to leave my contact info incase they're able to review the footage and find the thief. Unfortunately, James told me there are several bike thefts that happen at this spot and I'm not the first one to report a stolen bike at this location. He said it happens like 3 times a month, so that bike rack is a hot spot for bike theft. I'm pretty sad about the theft and the 7 year old bike has huge sentimental value to me :(
