      Are those only usable with credit cards? That would suck. Unless they take prepaid gift cards, then he would’ve had to buy one on the black market or something to be in the clear.

          In this case it was a gps enabled citibike but that doesn’t mean he paid with a traceable credit card and since he dumped it in central park it’s not like they can suddenly id him on camera dumping it

        I’ve seen homeless people riding bike share city bikes before. Not ebikes, but I’ve also heard of homeless people boosting electric shared scooters as well, so it seems that someone this dedicated to his pursuit would have done the same and not used his credit card (or perhaps used a stolen one).
