Overview
- The missing bicycle is a distinctive neon-green Scott mountain bike that Beck says he received at Easter 1993 and has ridden for 32 years.
- He reported the theft in an Instagram story, expressed sadness, and asked Berliners to contact him if they spot the bike.
- Beck says the bike carried strong sentimental value after accompanying him through Munich, Cologne, and eight years of life in Berlin.
- Official figures cited in the reports note about 24,000 bicycle thefts in Berlin last year and 12,723 cases from January through July this year, with suspects identified in roughly 631 cases.
- As of this weekend, there is no public indication the bike has been recovered or that police have issued a case-specific update, and Beck even addressed the thief with ironic hopes for its return.
