Summary
Vehicle theft reports are up 50% this year, but most of the jump is stolen e-bikes — more than a quarter of reported vehicle thefts — mostly around the Promenade mall movie theater, where 80% of bikes were left unlocked. Deputies are working with mall management on a designated e-bike parking area with better camera coverage.
