Incident Description:
Stolen out of garage that faces alley way. Saturday afternoon, broad daylight. May have left garage door open when leaving, not sure, or could have popped open. A lot of scrappers use this alley way, and we have lots of construction workers in the area as well. Possibly thrown in back of a truck or van. My guess is more than one person, the Rover is very heavy with the saddlebag/gear. **ALSO, TWO BIKES STOLEN AT SAME TIME: THE UNIVEGA ROVER WAS STOLEN WITH SILVER SPECIALIZED SEQUOIA ROAD BIKE.
