Incident Description:
Again, it's only my rear wheel that was stolen. The rest of the bike and the lock are still there. I left work at Howard Brown Health Center around 8:00pm and was picked up in a car, and at that point the whole bike was still locked up to the rack out front. I returned to work this morning and the rear wheel had been stolen sometime between 8:00pm on 10/30/13 and 9:00am on 10/31/13. Not the biggest loss, but the tire is unique enough that it could be identified, as it is purple. It's a Magna fixie bike from Target, and the wheel can be switched around to free-wheel from fixed.
