Incident Description: 
I was working and a friend was waiting for me at a nearby restaurant. He came back to sit in front of my store and noticed a guy standing by our bicycles. After the guy left (Approx 12:10) he went to check to make sure both bikes were locked. After confirming both bikes were locked, he started to work on his laptop; at one point, about 5 minutes later, he noticed the same guy walking close to the bikes but he continued on. At 12:20 he stopped working for a second and looked and noticed my bike was missing but his was still there. The incident was captured on a surveillance camera, however we are waiting for the security director of the building to access the footage.
