A British lawmaker's electric bike was stolen while she was relaxing at a pub

Leila Moran, a Liberal Democrat member of the British Parliament, had her electric bicycle stolen while she was spending time at a pub. According to the politician, it was her first visit to the pub in a long time, but her evening out ended with an unpleasant incident.

Moran said the theft occurred on Friday evening between 10:50 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. She had ridden her Pakyak E+ electric bike—equipped with luggage racks and a child seat—to meet friends at the pub and left it nearby, secured with a “reliable” lock.

“We went in for just one drink, half an hour at most. But when I came out of the pub, the bike was gone. If you saw anything—please let me know. I’ve already filed a report with the police… This is the first time I’ve taken it into town. I know these things happen, but I’m so upset,” the lawmaker shared.  

Some users began mocking her with comments like “welcome to the real world,” “invite the Third World—you’ll become the Third World,” or “one less bike on the road,” while others shared their own experiences and advice. 

Moran complained about this on her Facebook page.
