Raymond Rhodes of Poughkeepsie (affectionately known as "Sweet Ray" to friends) is dealing with the loss of his bike that he only had for two months. It was stolen from outside Spectrum at 2 Reservoir Square, Poughkeepsie on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 24 at around 4pm.

Ray recounted the story on Facebook as he was at Spectrum cable and the bike (a Trek valued at $2000) was stolen from him right in front of his eyes. He said that he was inside Spectrum inquiring about wifi not even 7 feet away when a man took off with his bike. Ray says he to run after him but couldn't catch up. Maybe somebody saw something that day or knows somebody that knows something.

Mr. Rhodes went on to say, "I know it sounds silly but I'm just heartbroken over this f****** thing". Lets hope the bike gets returned to its rightful owner. If you can help reach out to the City of Poughkeepsie Police. A police report was filed.
