Also, for those following our reporting on bikejacking, we heard there was a third incident over the weekend.

We haven't checked with police yet, but here's what the community member said: "This time a mountain bike from someone in the parking area on Skyline Rd between Roberts Park entrance and Redwood Bowl Staging Area/Chabot Space & Science Center. Car was a blacked out Dodge Charger. Description was 'two guys...pulled a gun,' nothing more specific. Happened Sunday morning. I don't have any more details, other than that it is a black (with teal lettering) Santa Cruz Bronson mountain bike."
