26 AIEEEE!How do you know when the smart phone market is slowing down? When thieves show a preference for electric bikes instead. At 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 25, a man locked up his electric bicycle outside 2290 Broadway. When he returned, he discovered that his scooter had scooted. It was a 26 AE, valued at $1,305.

A LuluOne shoplifter failed to benefit from the redemptive powers of yoga. At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 19, a man ran into the Lululemon Athletica store at 2139 Broadway and made off with thirteen pairs of pants, valued at $1,664.

At 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 14, a 22-year-old man left his electric bike unlocked and unsecured outside 102 W. 73rd street. Needless to say, the vehicle was not there when he returned. It was a Bikeman valued at $1,300.
