Incident Description: 
A neighbor about two houses down on our block reported that 3 boys, about ages 16 to 18 walked into our garage (which was left open), took the bike from off the ceiling-mounted hooks and left. He reported that the boy who took the bike was wearing a white shirt, and that the boys were smoking. Our garage opens into an alley behind Saint Louis Ave. This happened at about 5pm on Sunday, August 4th. There were also three young men who were nearby in a community garden behind our house who overheard us talking with our neighbor about the situation. They took down my phone number and I showed them pictures of the bike, and they said that if they saw the bike around, they would call and let me know. It seemed like they were different than the other three boys he described, as they all had their own bikes, and were trying to help us find the missing one... but who knows. Our neighbor said that the boys who took the bike might live a block or two south of us, but when they left with the bike, they walked north out of our alley toward Leland Ave. We then filed a police report over the phone about 10 minutes later.
