Incident Description:
This bike and a woman's Fuji were stolen from my garage after 8pm on Tuesday, February 10th and before 7:00am Wednesday, February 11th. Unfortunately my neighbor left the garage door open. We also own a third bike that has more security on it that was left alone.
I think someone walked through the alley along Sheffield near Webster and saw an open garage and took what they could.
The picture is not my bike but one that looks similar to it that I found off the internet.
