Incident Description: 
Not much to it. It was taken between 2:00am and 7:00 am on June 27th. When I go to my girlfriend's house I stupidly place my bike under the stairs in front of her garden unit apt, unlocked. It's mostly blocked from the view of passersby, but not entirely. It was only a matter of time. I was careless, I know, and it's definitely a learning experience.
