Incident Description:
I saw the bike in the back yard in the morning when I left the house on October 14. Shortly after midnight, I noticed it was missing. I assume someone walked in through our gangway and simply walked off with it, lock and all. I am trying to track down the serial number, but I failed to note it myself before it was stolen. The bike was less than 3 months old. It was locked to itself with a U-lock.
