Incident Description:
I had my bike shipped from the last city I lived in, and it arrived on Friday. SAFE THERE UNTIL I co yard, thinking it would be safe there until I could go get a bike lock on Sunday, but when I went to check on it Sunday morning, it was gone! I think it was stolen either Friday night (8/29) or Saturday (8/30), but I wasn't home much those days to know for sure. All I know is that someone jumped our super high fence to steal a bike that's not worth more than about $50, max. Both tires are flat, the handle bar had been loosened for shipping, the chain was loose, and the bike is generally just old and not in great shape. I don't even know if it had a serial number, unfortunately!
