Incident Description:
Stolen from inside a locked garage at Western & North Ave, anytime between 2/12 and 2/16. Thief cut the cable lock and left it at the scene. The garage is shared with 10-15 other tenants and many of them keep their bikes locked up in the garage, however, only mine was stolen. Another tenant had birthday presents stolen out of her car while parked in the garage, so one of the tenants with garage access may be a thief. If you see a yellow Gary Fisher bike with Leinenkugel Honey Weiss stickers in the Chicagoland area, it's most likely mine since it's a special edition and only a handful were made.
