Incident Description:
I locked my bike up outside of the Urban Cargo thrift shop. I pulled the lock through my bike and wheel and went inside. I left the thrift shop and drove with a friend a few blocks away for about 10 minutes and saw my bike locked up from down the block. As we pulled up, she pulled across the street and I saw a man standing near the bike rack wearing a white shirt. I didn't really get the best look at him because I was in the car and didn't really think anything of him mulling around. By the time I got out of the car and crossed the street, my bike frame and back wheel were both gone and only my front wheel and lock were left. I do have a quick release wheel and I was positive I locked it correctly.
