Incident Description:
I was parked and locked at a bike rack with other bikes in front of City Hall around 3:30p. I was upstairs for about an hour when I came to find that my bike was missing. I immediately thought maybe I had parked it a block down, or on the other side, but after taking a lap across City Hall, and going down a block on each side, I had realized that a mistake was not made on my end, but rather the bike had just been stolen. Unfortunately, I did not take many pictures of the bike. So the only one I have uploaded is one of me and the bike, but please disregard the back behind the seat as I recently removed that. I hope this report helps me find my bike again.
