A Simi Valley resident is reaching out to the community for help following a theft at the Meadowwood Apartments. A young man's e-bike was stolen from the complex around 4:00 AM on January 29, 2026.
The bike served as the owner's primary mode of transportation to and from his job. The family noted that the loss has left them in a difficult financial position as they search for a replacement.
The theft reportedly took place near one of the apartment entry points. Neighbors are being asked to check their doorbell cameras or security footage for any suspicious activity around that time.
The family is also monitoring local online marketplaces like Facebook and Craigslist. They are warning others to be wary of any "too-good-to-be-true" deals on similar e-bikes in the area.
No suspect description has been officially released, but a police report has been filed with the Simi Valley Police Department. Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities.
Community members are sharing the plea on social media to increase the chances of recovery. The family remains hopeful that a tip from the public will lead to the return of the essential bike.
