Incident Description:
I left the bike locked to a solid street sign while I went upstairs for a little while, when I returned less than an hour later the bike and lock were gone. It was the middle of the day on a quiet street. I don't understand how a bike thief just happened to be walking by during the short time my back was outside. There were other bikes nearby, but I think mine probably looked the newest.
