What this video covers
Eze and Chilu's electric scooter was stolen outside a bar near Central Park in New York City, locked and parked among other scooters and bikes at 9 p.m. in a busy, well-lit tourist area in front of a security guard.17:33 The security guard and a nearby police officer both told them theft was almost certain; a check of the police database by a second precinct found no record of the scooter by brand or sticker.22:45 The crew decided against filing a formal report, judging recovery chances near zero and preferring not to appear in police databases.23:18 The theft punctuates a multi-episode stay in Manhattan, where Eze and Chilu had moved the boat to a marina north of Manhattan.0:28 The episode also covers a broken block on the mainsheet — a sheave jamming against the line — replaced via Amazon.5:10 Guest Mariana, Chilu's sister visiting from Buenos Aires, joins the crew for a walking tour covering the High Line, The Vessel, Little Island, Little Italy, the MoMA, Times Square at night, and Central Park.6:12 Locking a scooter in a crowded tourist area near a security guard does not prevent theft in New York City.
