Easton Police Request Return Of "Free" Gravity Bike

Police said the bike was left next to a refrigerator marked "FREE" at the end of a driveway, but was not, in fact, meant to be given away.

EASTON, MA — Easton police are asking for the return of a gravity bike taken from a Summer Street home that may have been mistaken for a free item.

Police said on Sunday afternoon the teen owner of the bike was left near a refrigerator marked "FREE" at the end of the driveway. Police said a security camera captured an adult man knocking on the door of house — perhaps to confirm the bike was a giveaway.

"We can assure you it was not left out for free and it was taken in error," Easton police said.
