Incident Description:
I know, I know, locking to a wooden porch. In my defense (I guess, who cares, I know) this porch is in the back and around a corner of the building, not visible from the street or main alley, and up two flights of stairs, my landlord refuses to put in a bike rack and our basement "bike room" is unlocked. Also I've had (old) bikes locked there for over two and a half years, so the fact that the VERY DAY after that old bike became a shiny new bike makes me think it was someone in or connected to the building, or someone who has been regularly cruising the building.
