Incident Description:
I had locked my bike to the same pole directly outside my apartment window for 3 days. I had been making short trips with it but returned it to the same spot every day. On the evening of the 12th I came home from grabbing dinner and a man was standing outside my building with a bike helmet on but no bike near him. He was just staring off into space near my bike, so I resolved to head up to my apartment and watch out the window just to make sure he wasn't checking my bike out. I didn't see anything, but the next morning when I left at 5:45am the bike and lock were gone.
