Incident Description:
Myself and another owner confronted two suspicious looking people standing by the bike rack that got spooked and fled out the door. The thieves, one a woman in her 30s with long blond hair and scars all over her face (probably meth) and the other a man in his late 20s or early 30s who was on the small side, got spooked by our questioning and fled out the door. The left a pliers as well another bike that they had unlocked but didn't have time to take. In total, they made out with 4 bikes that day (one was my husband's bike, a bright yellow Trek 4300 mountain bike with brand new road tires.)
