Incident Description:
I was taking a shower and I heard a noise outside, but, it wasn't until I was taking out the trash that I noticed it was gone. My guess is the theaf lives in the area because they would have to get it over a large gate and it's relatively hard to notice it from the alley. I had locked it to a fence (which was fine for a whole year) that they clipped.
The picture is of a basic Bianchi avenue but it looks just like it.
