Stolen Blue Blix Packa Genie Cargo E-Bike

Hey everyone. I had the great misfortune of my Blix Packa Genie Cargo E-Bike stolen yesterday from the Paul G. Allen Center for Computing at UW (185 W Stevens Way, Seattle, WA 98195). It’s worth a good deal ($2100) and was my main mode of transport as I don’t own a car.

I didn’t take security lightly on this and locked it with a hardened steel chain and padlock, but it looks like a determined attacker used an angle grinder to grind through the 5/6″ of solid hardened stainless steel to cut the chain. Putting this out here in case someone spots it.

Some additional identifying information:

• Serial Number: US24071138
• Project 529 Shield ID: FCPXLHG
• UWPD Report Case Number: 2026-00011377
• Approximate time of theft (according to tracking tag movements): July 7th 5:40 PM
• Last known tracking tag location (July 8th 8:00 AM): Between S Jackson St and S King St on their intersection with 10th Ave S (pictures attached) as of 8:00 AM today (July 8th).

The bike is marked stolen on Bike Index and Project 529. It’s also been filed to the UWPD as police report as case number:

I thankfully the bike has a built-in tracker on the Tile network. According to the tracker, the thief stole the bike in broad daylight at around 5:40 PM yesterday July 7th. The last known location of the bike is between S Jackson St and S King St on their intersection with 10th Ave S (pictures attached) as of 8:00 AM today (July 8th).

I’ve tried going to the area both late last night and this morning, walking around the area to see if I could get a signal from my tag, but I couldn’t get one. I had some police dispatched to the area late last night around 2:00 AM after I was sure I had a lock on the location in this area. They saw some pings earlier in the day were near locations of homeless encampments and suggested it might’ve been tried to be sold off, but they failed to find it after searching. The location where the ping was located was an apartment complex (Thai Binh apartments) They said they couldn’t search all 500 units (which they didn’t need to do because I had a tracker which would indicate if it was nearby…) and had to be dispatched away.

I went into the complex earlier today and informed the property manager and they said they’d review surveillance footage and turn anything they see over to police associated with my police report.

I haven’t seen another ping from the bike since 8:00 AM this morning. I suspect someone in the apartment complex has a phone in the Tile network and that was what was allowing the Tile to give updated location pings. They probably went out to work and the bike remains there since if it was taken out onto the street I likely would get more pings.

I’ve also checked Facebook marketplace listings in the past 24 hours. No luck there.

I’m not really sure what else I can do at this point, but if anyone else finds this bike, please let me and/or the police know. I’ll give updates with what I know the tracker says about its whereabouts here.
