$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- A former city commissioner in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said someone stole his bike after he left it to check on two drivers involved in a traffic collision.
Former City Commissioner Tim Smith said he left his bike on the sidewalk after witnessing the crash Monday and after he made sure both drivers were uninjured, he returned to find his bicycle missing, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday.
Smith, who led a successful push for a citywide bike registration program to make it easier for police to investigate stolen bikes during his time as a commissioner, told officers his bike was not registered.
