Cross-country bicyclist has bike and all gear stolen while staying in Hannibal

Cyclist Ty Robinson of North Bend Washington was about half way through his cross country bicycle ride Monday when he slept in a city park in Hannibal.

When he woke up Tuesday morning, his bike and all his gear were gone.  

Welcome to Missouri, Ty!

According to the Hannibal Courier-Post:

In touch with his family, which is sending aid in the form of care packages to the motel where he is staying, the young man remains stranded here, without so much as a toothbrush, a change of clothes, a razor or a cable for his cell phone.

On Wednesday, he walked to the police station in downtown Hannibal - close to three miles - in order to pick up a copy of the theft report, only to be told to come back on Thursday.

With the help of his mother back home, he has filed an insurance claim.

“Maybe the insurance will take care of the bike, maybe not,” he said.

Right now, he’s playing the waiting game.

We need to help this guy get a bike and some gear, stat.
