Incident Description:
Bike was left locked to a bike rack at approximately 2:40pm while at the beach (by restroom house just north of North Avenue beach). When I returned to the rack at approximately 4:30pm my bike was gone, without any sign of the lock. My friend's bike was left untouched. The event was immediately reported to police onsite with a notice put on out on the police radio. An officer stated that a bike matching that description was just seen riden by a white male wearing a white tee-shirt, but unfortuantely he was able to get away.
