Incident Description:
I opened my garage door to take my bike out, then went back through the garage to close the door and go out the front door. I do this every day, and the process takes 15 seconds. This time someone took my bike during those 15 seconds. They must have been watching me. They also left a grocery bag full of crappy plastic dishes in its place, leading me to believe that it was a homeless individual who had just found the plates in a dumpster, but then ditched the plates and took my bike when the opportunity arose. I ran in all directions but didn't see anyone.
This mountain bike is 10 years old and has 14,000 miles on it. It's not worth anything, but it was my baby. I am heartbroken today.
