Incident Description:
I returned home from a trip on June 1 to find that my bicycle which had been U-locked to a street sign in front of my condo since the previous Monday (5/28) had been stolen. Adjacent to the street sign (no parking sign) was a white plastic chair on which the actual sign had been left presumably by the thieves. The sign had been detached from the top of the pole. The thieves likely lifted the bicycle past the top of the pole after they had detached the sign from the top of the pole. There was no trace of the bike other than the white chair and the sign which were left adjacent to the pole.
