Incident Description:
When I walked out the morning after it was stolen the rear gate to the backyard was open. Normally the dogs run away if that's the case so I think sometime between walking the dogs and leaving for work someone entered through the gate, broke into the garage through the side door, grabbed the bike and fled. But it's entirely possible the bike was stolen over the course of the night.
