Incident Description: 
I had my bike locked on the backyard fence all day while I was inside my friends home. We went outside for a bit, approximately at 3:30 went on a walk and were back around 4pm. The bike was stolen within this short period, which makes me believe the burglar saw us leave. It was locked to a residential fence and cut off.
