Incident Description:
I left the bike locked to the fence on my front porch, fell asleep and forgot to bring it in for the night. So it could have been stolen anytime between 9pm on April 26 and 1pm on April 27. No sign of the lock anywhere. I did notice fewer bikes than usual locked along the street, but that might have been my mind playing tricks.
