Keep an eye out in your area.

A Cork family has appealed for the public’s help in locating an electric bicycle that they say was taken from a shop over the weekend.

Posting on Facebook, Claire Ahern asked the public to help find the Haibike Sduro electric mountain bike, which was gifted to her father Pat Lawlor for his 60th birthday.

“Hi guys, if anyone sees or hears of this bike being sold will ye contact me please? It was robbed from inside Argos Mahon Point. We bought this for my dad for his 60th birthday so it’s sentimental to him.”

“Please share the hell out of this post and let’s get it back to him.”

Cork boxer Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan joined the effort to locate the bike, asking his 70,000 Twitter followers to keep an eye out for it in their neighbourhoods and online.

My mother just sent me this & asked me to tweet it. I know the man that owns this bike an absolute gentleman & his wife is very sick with cancer. Please return the bike whoever took it or leave it somewhere to be found. If your offered it report it please. #Cork #Mahon pic.twitter.com/wEft3nA93U
