Incident Description:
Bike was locked up to bike rack on beach. I was sitting 20 yards away. I believe someone was probably there with a gym bag or backpack that had bolt cutters. cased the me, the situation and the bike rack. When the crowd thinned the probably acted as if it was there bike bent to act like opening the lock, cut it and rode away. There was a guy with long sand light brown hair, white rimmed sunglasses, I believe a white shirt 6 feet or so, who was there most of the time I was. He left before I did...but it could have been anyone. The person who stoled the bike was most likely not wearing bike shoes and may or may not have looked out of place on this bike or had a little harder time riding since the pedals are so small.
