Incident Description:
This bike was stolen along with an old red cruiser bike (fairly battered) from our private fenced-in yard. It had been there since 8 pm last night. The fence is a privacy fence (not chain link) so someone must have been in the yard OR peering through the cracks in the fence trolling for bikes to steal. We have certainly learned our lesson - that bikes must be locked at all times (even in the privacy of our yard) but my son is heartbroken as he had received this bike for his birthday.
