Spokesman David Castano of the Bogota Metropolitan Police says Vives’ personal bike and that of his godson were stolen Thursday in the capital.

The bikes were taken from outside a store.

Vives apologized on Twitter to Shakira, saying he could not give her a ride on the bike “because I was just robbed and it’s raining a lot in Bogota.”
