Incident Description
Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Sidewalk in front of an open business.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
This was my regular parking spot, as I live nearby. It had been about 2 days without being used.
Incident Description:
Bicycle was parked in front of my apartment & a 24/7 laundry business, with one U lock through the front wheel, frame, and sign post and another through the rear wheel & frame. I last saw my bike at approximately 8am on Saturday, July 28th. I noticed that it was missing, locks and all, on Sunday, July 29th at approximately 5pm. The sign itself does not appear to have been tampered with in any way, so it is my guess that they popped the lock somehow & took it with them.
