Incident Description:
Bike was locked on the back porch of a second floor apartment, through 4 wooden spindles of the porch. The thief used some sort of object to pry the four spindles loose and removed the bike and lock from the porch. The porch overlooks a locked walkway that leads to the garbage disposal...unsure if somebody left the gate open or if the thief scaled the fence. Last time I saw the bike was around 12:30 pm when the apartment was shown to possible new renters, and I showed them the back porch, where I noted that my bike was still intact. Noticed the bike missing this evening around 7pm. Bike looks very similar to this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Cdv220LrL._AA400_.jpg
