Incident Description:
We were having a potluck in the storefront of Stop Smiling. Bike was in the room with about 20 other people, this guy walked in, looked around, walked out with the bike. Since not everyone knew everyone else,when he entered other witnesses assumed he was friends with someone there. I was facing my bike, looked down to answer a text on my phone, looked up and it was gone. My lock and helmet were on the handlebars, the reason being, other bikes had been stolen from in front of the building so I brought my bike in--and who would possibly steal my bike in front of 20 people? It's just...argh.
