Incident Description:
I locked up my bike in the morning in front of work, with only a cable lock because my U-lock broke (silly me for not immediately buying another U-Lock). When I left the building around 4:15, the bike was gone. It was very odd to look at the rack where it was locked up (next to Fannie May candies) and not see it any more. It was a large Trek 820 mountain bike, dark blue, with a silver bike rack on the back, a 'tandem' coupling on the back of the seat stem, and several white and red "Wahoo's Fish Tacos" stickers on the frame. It also had a "Village Cycle" sticker near the bottom of the frame. The bike was worth less than $300, but it was only 2 years old, and I certainly wasn't planning to get rid of it.
