Incident Description:
This bike was inside my fenced back yard in plain sight from the alley. (I know, it was stupid to leave it out there like that). The thieves entered my yard to steal the bike and also took a purple man's mountain bike from the garage. The garage was entered through the service door which was unlocked. I was at home, but taking a nap at the time.
