My Schwinn Men's 700C Tourist 28" Road Bike was stolen from my backyard at 3400 S Aberdeen between the hours of 6pm and 8pm on August 5th, 2012. The perpetrator(s) knocked over the pole it was attached to, removed the top bar of the pole, and proceed to slide my locked bike, as well as another tenant's bike, over the pole.
