Incident Description: 
The bike was stolen some time between 9:50 a.m. and 3:05 p.m. Just before I locked the bike, I noticed a Caucasian female on the sidewalk, intently looking at the area, the business next door, and down the alley. She was joined, after a moment, by a Caucasian male who came out of the alley just west of the 810 West Armitage Avenue address. Unlike other people who walk purposefully through the area at that time of day, they were mostly standing around looking. When I left work, next door, at 3:05 p.m., the bicycle and lock were missing.
