Incident Description:
I was in a residential area, and when I came outside to leave, my bike was gone along with the newer u-lock w/flat key. There was a small area on the fence that had been cut off, which I assume is how the bike was stolen. The neighbors were asked, and they did not see anything take place. The bike had only been there since 8:00 am, so the theft occurred during the early- to mid-morning.
