Someone Stole one of Steadman's Bike Shop's New Benches Last Night
The landmark Wakefield bike shop got hit by a thief. They're asking everyone to keep their eyes peeled.
Steadman’s Bike Shop in Wakefield just can’t catch a break.
Recently, construction crews unexpectedly cut out a cool bicycle design imprinted in the sidewalk in front of the shop due to “safety concerns.”
And then, last night, someone thought it was a good idea to take one of the shop’s new blue benches from outside the store sometime between midnight and 8 a.m.

The benches are about 4 feet long and are dark blue with “Steadman’s Bikes” painted across the back.
