Incident Description: 
Behind dog park fence, the bike was leaning on the fence. I had my back to the back when a girl came up to me and asked me if I was selling drugs, I replied no and proceeded to jokingly pull out my empty pockets. In the meantime, someone quietly took the bike while I was distracted talking to the girl. The girl was african american with red/black hair. Her hair had red on her banks with at least an inch of red on her hair coming from the banks upward.
