DES MOINES, Iowa —A downtown Des Moines bicycle rental company is reporting six bikes have disappeared in the last two days.
The report to Des Moines police was made on Wednesday.
Carl Voss of the Bicycle Collective reported that all six were rented using the same credit card. The bikes were rented at one of four downtown automated bike racks designed for short-term rentals.
Voss told police he has been running the rental service for three years and has never had a bike stolen.
Voss told police that in all the missing bikes were valued at about $7,000. Voss said he contacted the owner of the credit card who said the card had likely been stolen.
The police report shows two of the bikes were found abandoned at a liquor store on Hubbell Avenue in east Des Moines.
