Incident Description:
The bike was in my garage and a family member left the garage door (facing alley) open from around 2:00 pm until discovered at around 4:00pm. The bike was visible and not chained. It more or less had a 'take me' sign on it. I know we are idiots. I knew the bike should not have been there in the first place. It is a small beautiful brand new red bike that anyone would be happy have. Including a metal collector for the contents of his truck. Nothing else was stolen-no skis, nothing.
