After a St. Paul man’s garage was burglarized earlier this year, he decided to install a surveillance camera.

“I guess it was well warranted,” said Wade McEwen on Thursday, the day after the camera recorded a man who walked up from the alley and stole McEwen’s bicycle from his Como driveway.

McEwen posted the video on social media, with the hope that someone will recognize the thief and his bike will be found.

On Wednesday, the 36-year-old was getting ready to ride his bike to play soccer in a men’s league when he noticed it was gone from his driveway near Como Avenue and Pascal Street. The theft happened 15 to 20 minutes earlier, the camera footage showed, at 7:08 p.m.

McEwen had modified the orange Gravity Deadeye Monster 17″ fatbike, adding an electric motor, and said it’s worth about $1,100. McEwen especially used the bike with his dog — the pup likes to run and his leash attaches to the bike.

Police say anyone with information about the bike thief can call them at 651-291-1111.
