Incident Description:
I was in the process of moving, so a lot of stuff was out on our front porch, which is actually well secluded on the second floor of a coach house in the back of a little courtyard area. We have never had anything stolen before, so didn't worry. There were also other more expensive bikes right there as well, but only this one was taken. I don't know if it was a neighbor or someone who knew me or knew the bike.. or a truly random incident, but the bike was there at night, as late as 4am, and then gone in the morning by 10am. I had just purchased this bike from CL a couple weeks before for 300$, and had spent another few hundred converting it to single speed and fixing up tires etc. Very devastated to lose it the morning of my move.. praying for a miracle it will be returned to me.... Thanks
