Tom Beck Appeals for Return of 32-Year-Old Neon-Green Scott Bike Stolen in Berlin

Police figures this year show thousands of bicycle thefts in the city with suspects identified in about 5 percent of cases.

Overview

  • The actor reported the theft occurred Thursday in Berlin and issued an Instagram plea asking for tips and for the thief to bring the bike back.
  • He identified the bicycle as a 32-year-old neon-green Scott mountain bike that he received from his parents at Easter 1993.
  • Beck emphasized the bike’s sentimental value, saying it has accompanied him through years of travel and work in Munich, Cologne and now Berlin.
  • No recovery has been reported, and he acknowledged the odds are long while saying he still hopes for a positive outcome.
  • Berlin police counted 12,723 bicycle thefts from January 1 to July 31 this year and identified suspects in 631 cases, reflecting a roughly 4.9 percent clearance rate.
