Incident Description:
The bike was in a garage that opened onto an alley. I had left it there that afternoon to borrow a friend's car; at 11pm I opened the garage, backed the car partway in, then ran through the garage to get a pair of tires I'd left in the alley next to the house. When I returned (a minute, tops) my bike was gone, and I saw wet footprints (it was raining) on the passenger side of the car, where I hadn't walked.
