Incident Description:
At 1am I u-locked my bike to the No Parking sign in front of my house (through the frame and front tire) because my stupid landlord doesn't allow us to chain our bikes to the fence and I was too tired to haul it upstairs. It was pouring down rain.
At 6:10am my roommate called from our front yard to say that the pole had been yanked out of the ground and the bike was gone. I looked out my north-facing window down onto the lawn and all fears were confirmed. The pole was lying on it's side near the street. The bike was long gone.
