[Lincolnparkdc] Fwd: Robbery at Wine and Butter Approx 12:45 pm Oct 19

[Paul Krupa]

I would guess the Revel is tracked and the company can tell who had rented
that bike at that time. I would not be surprised either that people have
figured out ways to defeat that, such as using a stolen card to procure the
bike. I would expect police to know all of this.
