Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Porch or yard.
How long was the bike locked in this location?: 
not locked, but in the area for at least a few hours
Incident Description: 
I normally lock my wheel to the frame but in a hurried moment, did not. Our tall privacy fence was recently partially burned, creating an opening to see through. the thieves (may they burn in hell) probably lifted the bike over the burnt area onto a truck. Including parts, the bike is probably only worth $200, max.
