Citi Bikes have GPS trackers. The police should be able to identify
the shooter from the credit card used to pay for the bike rental.
As I understand it, the currently preferred NYC method is to remove and swap the square-block optical code stickers.
Thief stands astride one bike until, a few feet away, random customer scans the other bike. Thief rides away before customer gets a clue.
I assume there are other methods because rental e-bikes used by criminals is not rare.
