According to a Facebook page dedicated to Abbott, called “The Friends of Dennis,” he had been working at Jefferson’s when his bike was stolen, and he was “hopping mad” after he discovered the theft.

The page also said Abbott’s friends at The Third Planet, 846 Massachusetts St., helped to file a police report.

In addition, that Friday someone snapped a photo of someone going through a bag attached to Abbott’s bicycle while it sat outside Jefferson’s.

The police reports indicate Abbott’s bicycle is white and worth approximately $50.
