A security camera review showed the theft occurred at 8:24 a.m.\n\nThe complainant declined to file a police report with the NYPD.\n\nBelow is a photo of the individual observed during a security camera review. The individual approached traveling west on East 24th Street from First Avenue, used a power tool to cut the lock, and took the e-scooter. The individual returned to First Avenue, traveling north, before turning onto East 25th and continuing west.\n\nIf you have any additional information about this incident, please contact the NYPD at 1(800) 577-TIPS and NYU Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222.\n\nPlease Remember These Safety Tips:\n\nIn addition to parking in a gated or designated parking area, consider using a heavy duty lock and/or chain to secure your bicycle or scooter. \nDo not leave your bicycle or scooter for extended periods of time, such as overnight.\nConsider registering your bicycles and other valuable property with Campus Safety's Violet Tag program, which provides community members with the opportunity to place an adhesive sticker on valuable property, so that if it is lost or stolen and recovered, it can be returned to them.
