My Bike Got Locked by a Stranger

 

My Bike Got Locked by a Stranger

On a beautiful evening I rode to the Hudson Yard in New York.

I don't see any bike racks around the whole block for securing my bicycle...
Well... I lock my bike to a street pole - it should do for this short stop.


Hudson Yard has some nice spots to visit.
I came back in less than 10 minutes.

There is e-bike locked to my bicycle.
Locking someone else's bike is a well known trick used by bike thieves.
I took a couple pictures for my records before doing anything else.

Calling 911 is one of the ways to deal with it.

There are a couple other not strictly ethical, and probably illegal ways to deal with it.

Alright, I got my bike unlocked in time to avoid any further complications.

I wonder what you would do in a similar situation to get back your bike.
Have fun and be safe :)
