Description of the theft
On August 26,2022, I left the Mattole Beach Campground at the end of Lighthouse Road. I loaded my bicycle on the Thule bike carrier, triple locked the bike to the rack, secured and locked the hitch, verified that the bike and hitch are secure and left the campground at around 7:30 AM.
The drive went via Petrolia to Ferndale. The road condition from Mattole Beach is very poor with gravel and potholes at a time. It is also winding mountainous and very strenuous drive that require total attention as I met several lumber trucks. I arrived at Ferndale at 10 AM and noticed that the bike and Thule carrier were missing and could not be found. Bicycle was attached to the Thule Rack without bags and handle bar accessories. Reported as lost/stolen to Humboldt County Sheriff Department. Reward if returned to owner
