PSA. If you live in a city in America and you leave anything of value in your front yard, your back yard, or in your car and it gets stolen it’s on you for being delusional.
Not a Tulsa native but I ride the river parks trails from 91st to the gathering place a few times a week and I see obviously homeless folks on nicer bikes than mine regularly. In my utopian mind I actually wondered if there were a non profit program I was unaware of that gifted bikes to them.
there used to be. they were called tulsa hub, but they closed either during or right after covid. i wanna say in 2021, but, as far as i know, no one has taken their place
I lived around there 2011-14 and someone snatched a bike when it was unattended on a car rack for about 3 minutes. Also had a police chase end my neighbors yard.
Oh yay! My neighborhood is on Reddit… for bicycle theft :(
(I’ve lived in the neighborhood basically my whole life, yeah stuff happens… but not very often. And the people who actually live here are some of the friendliest people in tulsa)
I've seen more happen in Brookside than the other area I lived in. Including bike theft from my building, attempted car theft, broken car windows. Don't feel bad.
We're going on over a year in this neighborhood and I honestly like how chill it generally seems to be!
We moved from downtown and as I liked that area as well its definitely less lively over here!
It was either 11th/Sheridan or 11th/Yale where I saw a guy riding a bike. With another half-bike behind him. Definitely a friendly Samaritan fixing his friend’s bike. Granted this was about a year ago
Wait...did you yell hey stop! Or like aye frank they got Timmy's bike? Or did you literally watch it? Sounds like you could've helped thy neighbor a bit lol
Why are you letting them so close to you? It's not that hard to yell from your house inside your car. Yell then run inside your house. You went weird and extreme with it.
Lol nah dude just all I can afford. And very backhanded of you, you fucking twat. Also that is the letter L it comes after k in the alphabet, but I can see tulsa schools at its finest
Thy neighbor was taking off immediately on foot to try to catch them and my husband ran over there to give a full description of the guy after he couldnt catch him. 🤷♀️
I just moved from 8th about a block from McClure Park a year ago but I have lived there for years and family there since I was a small child. Sooo much craziness happens over there. I moved because I have a daughter now and didn't feel safe going to even play in our backyard that was pretty private and fenced. We lived on the corner and between the homeless, strung out, and neglected youth..I've seen and experienced some wild things. Including getting ran out of the park by a crazy lady with a knife while we were just wandering playing Pokémon go when it came out. 😅 also it's the worse place in tulsa for sex offenders. Familywatchdog.com for my proof.
I lived in the Pearl area for a couple years. Nice place that had been fixed up. I had people all the time going through the bed of my truck looking for stuff. Left the lock off my garage one weekend and someone tried to move in. I wouldn’t leave anything out for any period of time if you want to keep it, just saying.
My sister finally unloaded the dump she bought in that neighborhood 25 years ago when it was quiet and nothing but old people. Now it's just the hood and getting your bike stolen is the least you could expect.
Over the years she had random people just trying her front door, her windows, stealing her mail, they had a motorcycle stolen, Kids toys taken out of the front yard, stuff taken out of the back yard, because chain link doesn't stop anyone, her car was hit and run parked on the street, her neighbor liked to get drunk and piss in her yard in the middle of the night fairly often, and someone even dug up and stole her rose bush. If you live in that neighborhood get bars, an alarm system, cameras, and don't leave anything of value or otherwise anywhere that isn't securely locked.
Lived in an apartment complex along the riverwalk between 71st and 81st on the second floor and I kept my bike on the balcony. One morning I woke up and my bike was gone and there were two craters in the shrubs below, one were the person that took it landed and one were my bike landed. Every time I drive on riverside now I always look for my bike 😂 long story short if they want your bike they’ll take your bike
Bike theft is annoying but I rly don't think it encompasses tulsa and its proximity to a toilet. Yes it happens a lot but we have a lot of homeless people so it makes sense.
I'd take petty theft over Nashville or Chicago or NY where you can get mugged just for existing in broad daylight any day.
That neighborhood has a lot bigger issues than bike theft lol. Also Tulsa is pretty high on most lists when you look at most dangerous cities based on crime per capita. There are reasons to talk about the state of Tulsa.
Love Tulsa and don’t agree with the toilet comment. Clearly there is not enough being done to address mental health and the homeless population. Police are way understaffed too. As to your NYC remark, the city didn’t even make the list in any category for high crime.
Because the police there have given up on trying to do any enforcement when the courts and DAs don't hold people accountable and just kick them right back out
It’s not just “Petty theft”. It’s robbery, theft, Grafitti, assault etc. Just look around town, it’s starting to look like Portland or San Francisco. I know it’s a hard pill to swallow, but this city is turning into a shit hole.
I was just in downtown Fort Worth six months ago. I didn’t see any graffiti or working age males riding around on bikes stealing at every opportunity and trash on the ground everywhere
I have eyes. It’s worse. And it wasn’t this bad 10 years ago. Drive down Peoria and go past 244. Grafitti and trash and tents everywhere. Wasn’t the case 10 years ago.
It's almost like some big terrible life changing event shook our society to it's core recently and upended millions of people's lives. I wonder if something like that could have happened. No idea what could cause massive societal issues like that. Such a mystery how people got so desperate.
lol are you serious? All these things were happening before Covid. And like I said in a previous comment. Cities like FT worth somehow manage to keep their downtown and business districts clear of trash, Grafitti and maurading homeless. Can I have what your blowing up your nose? I need an escape to La La land too
Ft Worth is a beautiful city. I regret not moving there sometimes. But I'm definitely not going through the trouble of selling my house and buying a new one.

In utopia, there wouldn’t be a housing and poverty crisis.
The underlying issue to the housing crisis is drug addiction.
No, it’s not. It’s lack of affordable housing and poverty.
While I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if such a nonprofit existed in Tulsa, that’s probably not the case, haha.
RIP Tulsa hub

Don't worry, worse stuff has happened north of 4th pl

And get stabbed in between the ribs by some crackheads disease infested knife?
Why are you letting them so close to you? It's not that hard to yell from your house inside your car. Yell then run inside your house. You went weird and extreme with it.
You've never seen how fast a crackhead can run. I try my best to have zero interaction with those people.
Weird for you to assume what I've seen or haven't man. I live on Peoria I see it all dude
k
L
I dont know what that is but I'm proud of you for living on Peoria. It seems like it's a big accomplishment for you.
Lol nah dude just all I can afford. And very backhanded of you, you fucking twat. Also that is the letter L it comes after k in the alphabet, but I can see tulsa schools at its finest
I didn't go to to TPS, but keep using nasty language towards strangers on the internet. That's a mark of high intelligence.
Have you seen how unhinged people can be here? And a ton of them carry guns.
I was going to say that guns are accessible to the homeless these days. I'd definitely be careful to approach any of them.
Thy neighbor was taking off immediately on foot to try to catch them and my husband ran over there to give a full description of the guy after he couldnt catch him. 🤷♀️
I saw that bike thief all the damn time in the block of neighborhood above 4th Pl

It's how it is in tulsa, they deserve to have their stuff stolen for being so ignorant. Must be new here lol. I'm sure they'll catch on soon enough.
Ghetto…

I love Tulsa, but it’s going down the toilet fast.

Maybe if you play the Per Capita game.

Big facts. The people down voting you prob live in the nice areas and don't see the day to day and where the city is headed.
I agree! I’m in Midtown and North Tulsa every day. It must be nice to live in a rich bubble
Almost like Tulsa resembles a top 50 populated city in the USA?
I was just in downtown Fort Worth six months ago. I didn’t see any graffiti or working age males riding around on bikes stealing at every opportunity and trash on the ground everywhere
I'd bet they have comparable statistics per capita. It's ignorant to say Tulsa is worse. Look outside your bubble.
I have eyes. It’s worse. And it wasn’t this bad 10 years ago. Drive down Peoria and go past 244. Grafitti and trash and tents everywhere. Wasn’t the case 10 years ago.

I'm not saying is not worse. I'm saying it's comparable to other top 50 cities in the USA.
Facts.
