Incident Description
Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Sidewalk in front of an open business.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
Less than eight hours, possibly only 30 minutes.
Incident Description:
I parked my bike in front of the building when I got to work in the morning, and by the time I came out, it was gone. The lock was still attached to the bike rack, intact. It was actually locked to the rack, which makes me think the lock had been picked. There was another bike attached to the same rack with mine, and both of ours were running parallel to it. Another bike was in the same spot where mine was locked, but perpendicular. That means either the other person there left soon after I arrived, or the thief stole both bikes.
