Incident Description:
Stolen off my back porch in full daylight while I was either home or nearby running errands (getting coffee, walking the dog...). Granted, my bike was not locked up or inside on the day of the theft, which ultimately means I facilitated the robbery. Strange, though, that I live on the second floor, that my back door was wide-open all day, and my bike wasn’t visible from the alleyway... also there is a metal gate that is closed but not locked. Cell phones were on the back porch table and they weren't lifted.
