Incident Description:
Bike was locked to the bottom of a wooden staircase in inner courtyard of apartment complex. Only residents have access to courtyard. Locked it up after a ride on 6/17, and when I went to go for a ride the following afternoon, it was gone. I live in a garden unit, and when I returned to my unit after noticing the theft, I found a photo of the front of my unit (stuck on the wall) with a handwritten note on the reverse side saying: "I know where you live, pussy. If you think that 'slap' was something, guess again."
