Incident Description:
so yes, I'm an idiot, simply an idiot. i know this, and I accept it, and to be honest I probably deserve my damn bike getting stolen. I locked my bike but one side of the U-lock hadn't completely gone in and I didn't realize it. Though the whole situation is a little hazy I wasn't completely 100% aware of my surroundings at the time. There were tons of bikes there(there was a party upstairs), and I made the mistake of not being careful due to my naive trust in mankind. This bike meant a lot to me, so please. If found, no questions will be asked, so please, please, dig deep inside and use whatever inkling of altruism you have to return it, please give me my baby back :(
