Kent, Washington is the first in the nation!!

I might be a little late on this but thought it was cool that Kent was first

MAY 19--We felt it was our duty, historically speaking, to post the first police report of a
stolen Segway, inventor Dean Kamen's wondrous self-balancing transportation device. According
to Kent, Washington police, the theft of the two-wheeled ride occurred on April 28 after
owner Robert Ballantine, 62, left it locked up outside his home. Cops remain on the lookout
for the hot wheels, which officers described in their report as a "unique motorized two
wheeled walking machine." Memo to Mr. Ballantine: If you're going to shell out $5000 for a
Segway, perhaps you should spring for a better anti-theft system than a $15 bicycle chain.

Gee, didn't I post this a few days ago? Perhaps you missed the ongoing discussion....

Yep, you are a little late.
