Incident Description:
Arrived in front of Bethel Church in Garfield Park for a film shoot. Pulled up, and got off the bike, when a friend arrived to drop off some gear. Carried gear to the front door, which was locked, then waited for it to be unlocked while distributing gear. Got distracted by different tasks I had to do to get the day started and left the bike leaning on the fence in front of the church and didn't realize until noon what had happened. By that time, the bike was, of course, gone.
