Spent the weekend at Kelleys Is. at Sea Way. Took two bikes like normal came home with one. I guess someone needed one enough to steal it. It's sad because up until now never felt as though it was necessary to lock things up there but I guess everything changes. Both my bikes were unlocked but they took my wife Schwinn Loop so I think they knew what they were looking for.

Sucks. Couple some person relived me of my stainless gas grill; right there in my home slip. Sure puts a damper on the carefree side of this activity
 
What a shame! I never thought of Kelly's as having that kind of crowd. Hopefully you contacted the local constabulary to let them know. Maybe someone that had one too many took it by mistake and will return it.

If they did they were headed towards town when they threw my wife's bike Helmut off the bike. Plus they were laying down on their sides on the concrete because we were in for a storm.
 
That sucks. My friend's golf cart was stolen and wrecked in PIB over Labor Day wkd.

Did you notify people on the island? It's possible that it was a targeted theft, but IMO it's more likely a crime of opportunity. It could very well still be on the island.

I'd file a report with the police and reach out to Jordan in the Chamber office. Very little happens on that rock that she doesn't know about it.
 
What's it look like? I'll keep an eye out for it. This weekend is our last planned trip to Kelleys.

Black schwinn loop with a gel seat cover and if they didn't remove it a nylon line strap around the seat stem.

With all this said the bike is one thing but on any given evening any one's boat that is unattended at the marina with people coming and going it wouldn't be that hard to steal things from a boat.

And if you're at Seaway which is near the Ferry dock - the closer you are the tempting it might be for thieves.
 
I didn't see it.
