Incident Description:
NOTE: image is a similar bike to mine -- NOT my actual bike.
Upon returning from the bank Saturday morning, we found a strange bike in the rear of our property next to the garage, and the door to the garage was ajar. Not recognizing the bike, we moved it off our property into the alley. I didn't make the connection until two days later when I went to get on my bike Monday morning to bike to work and it was gone. Only the yellow Gary Fisher bike was stolen from the garage, so we think somebody decided to "trade up."
