Incident Description:
I found this bike, laying in my carport when I went out in the morning. I am assuming that it is stolen and was ditched for some reason, while the thieves were in our back alley. After calling 311 and the police, they were decidedly unhelpful and seemed disinterested in finding the owner and said I could bring the bike in to them (which I assume would mean that it would be impounded and forgotten unless someone files a theft report and is diligent about it. I thought I would try this and some other options before I turn it over to them in hopes of finding the owner as the bike looks like it is either new/well cared for. I am not a "bike person" but it looks like it is an average sized bike and does have a few identifiers and the serial number is on the bike itself!
