Incident Description:
Someone cut the cable lockand stole my bike, when it was locked to a bike rack on East Grand Avenue, at 1:00 PM. It was a bright sunny day on a busy street, and I only left it alone for 1 hour. It was a large adult men's road bicycle, and oddly, the theft stole my bike and replaced it with a small red women's bike. My bike was old and very used, a bit surprising. I left the girls bike at the scene.
