Incident Description:
the bike was left locked in front of the house overnight, in the morning it was missing.
this is my 2nd bike that was stolen in the last 4 days. First my "Sanwa" was stolen from this safe location (I always assumed, and had no problems in the past). So I bought this bike as a replacement and in 4 nights it was gone too. I know, stupid me for dismissing the first theft.
this time I was using a cable with integrated key lock, not a cable combination lock like last time...
picture is not of my actual bike, my bike looks same except it has more stickers on the frame and brake cables are black, not white.
