Incident Description:
My husband saw motion in the back yard; a moment later we realized the garage lights were on. We went out to look and the garage was open. (We'd gotten home a hour before and both remembered closing the garage.) We think someone got into the garage from the back yard, opened the garage door, and rode off on my bike.
