Incident Description:
No doubt someone up and pulled the sign out of the ground and rode off into the sunset with my brand new bike I worked my butt off for. Rookie mistake, locking it to a street sign, but not one I'll make again. Probably in broad daylight, and definitely in front of quite a few security cameras.
