PORTLAND — Cyclists are a dime a dozen in Portland, so you’ll have to look closely to see if someone around you is riding a stolen police bike.
But somewhere out there, someone is. Portland police tweeted on Thursday night that an officer’s bicycle had been stolen downtown.
BikeIndex Portland, a bicycle registration service, tweeted that the bike was stolen from in front of the county courthouse and posted some grainy photos of the thief .
The blue cycle has a velcro patch that identifies it as a police bike, which officers acknowledged is likely long gone.
Nevertheless, they asked Portlanders to keep a look out for the stolen bike — which belongs to a bike theft task force officer.
