Incident Description: 
I was working at SmallBar on Division on Sunday night. Locked up the bike at 530pm. Came back out at 100am. No wheels. The Phil Wood hubs require a 6mm allen wrench to remove the wheels. Someone saw my bike and pulled out there 6mm allen wrench and took my wheels for themselves. These were not scrappers, they know what they took.
