Incident Description:
I last saw my bike in the side yard of my 3-unit building on Sunday night, July 10, at about 8pm. On Monday morning, July 11, at about 7am, I went out to ride to work, and found it missing. My roommate's bike, also unlocked, was still on the scene. The side yard is behind a 6-foot high solid wooden gate, and is not visible from the street. We've had some problems recently with the gate not latching at blowing open in the wind.
