Incident Description:
Bike was stolen from 3 car garage where it has been kept for 3+ years without trouble. I keep it locked to itself b/c there is no structure to lock it to inside the garage. Either someone broke in through the keyed door (no sign of damage) or a neighbor (of 3 flat) accidently left garage door open for theft to occur. Bike last used Monday, August 22, 2011. Reported missing Saturday morning, August 28, 2011.
