Incident Description:
Left my bike unlocked on my second floor balcony porch of a three-story condominium complex. From the back alley three-story wooden staircase, someone jumped over the wooden railing to gain access to my locked back porch and grabbed the bike and walked down two flights of stairs. I found the baseball cap that was attached to the bike frame further down the alley; I'm assuming they rode down the alley heading northbound after disposing of any unique identifiers. It was broad daylight outside and I was in my apartment when the bike was stolen.
