Incident Description

This was its normal home — but it was last seen Sunday September 13 at noon, and then discovered missing at 10 pm.
Incident Description:
It's quite possible that we left our big garage door open — the pedestrian door opens into our high-fenced yard. Unless someone scaled our fence. So we are partially to blame for leaving the door open, but it's still illegal to steal. I've had that bike since I was 16 and it has a lot of sentimental value. Our neighbor did see a "suspicious man" riding a bike in our alley when he took out the trash, but didn't have a description.
