Incident Description:
I was eating dinner in Carbon from 8pm-9:10pm and that is when my bike was stolen, which is about 150 feet away from the bike rack. I suspect the thief used a heavy duty bolt cutter as there was nothing left when I returned (my helmet, bike and lock were all gone). At about 9:15pm while I was on the phone with the police, an all black Trail Blazer pulled up and stopped for a moment right by us, and I believe I saw a bike wheel in the back. I suspect the thief might have circled back to check the scene, but I was not able to see the license plate.
