A Dartmouth College student has contacted the Windsor PD about his stolen skateboard, which occurred on August 22nd.

“Hi everyone has anyone seen an electric skateboard being sold or around recently? It was taken from me in Hanover NH and last showed being at an apartment complex in Windsor but it seems like the tracker on it was smashed or disabled somehow. I was able to remotely brick it so it won't even be usable with any sort of remote unless I undo that. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated and I would love to get my board back!"
