Incident Description:
New to the city, I was riding home, and missed my turn and turned into the next major intersection that I recognized. I then pulled onto Lavergne to regroup and figure out my location. In what I can only presume to be a narcoleptic-like moment, I fell asleep while doing so, leaving my precious bike unlocked next to me.
I came to nearly and hour later to find my bike missing and my ULOCK (which was tucked in the back of my pants before dozing off) on the sidewalk about 15 feet from me.
