Incident Description:
I left my bike locked outside of Province restaurant on Jefferson for a little over an hour while I was inside working on a project. The restaurant wasn't open yet, but servers were inside setting up. The bike was visible from the restaurant, but not directly in front. I went in at about 10:15 AM, and when I came out at 11:30 AM it was gone.
Note that the picture I posted is a commercial image of the bicycle, not mine--though it is what mine looks like, minus the rack. I have photos of mine but they're at home and I had to come straight to work. That's also why I can't post the serial number at the moment, but if I can modify this posting later I'll update it.
