Beloved Bike Stolen From Deaf Bend Man - News Story - KTVZ Bend
A bike was stolen from a Bend man this week -- and while an uptick in similar thefts lately show it's no surprise, this one is a bit different.
Bob Warr, 50, was born deaf and is now on disability, unable to work.
His mother Sue Kay explained Friday why the modified black and gray Northrock bicycle is one thing he cherished, until it was stolen from right off their driveway.
"He has so little, and that bike is very dear to him," Kay said Friday.
Kay said it was hidden behind a travel trailer, but likely unlocked.
The theft happened sometime Wednesday night or Thursday morning at their home on northeast Norton Avenue in Bend.
Since he is deaf, the bike was Bob's only mode of transportation -- and he had spent years working to make it unique, with extensive modifications like special handlebars.
Kay said she does not want to press any charges, she just wants whoever took the bike to give it back.
"He is a very generous and sweet man -- it would mean so much to him if the bicycle were returned," she said.
If you know anything, please call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 1-877-876-TIPS to help Bob get his beloved bike back. You can remain anonymous, and could get a cash reward.PrintEmail
