Incident Description:
After biking home from work at midnight, I brought my bike into my apartment and to our back porch, where I usually keep it. The stairs are covered and I hung the bike on a hook. However, I foolishly did not lock it. A thief must have seen one of my roommates' bikes in the visible section of the porch from the alley way and hopped the (locked) yard gate. Then the thief must've taken my bike (only my bike) from the hook and carried it over the gate and made off with it. This happened sometime over night as I went out on our porch around 11 am the next morning and it was gone.
