Incident Description: 
A year ago the bike has been stolen once before at our old apartment, but we managed to find that bike in someone's possession on Devon Ave, that person was trying to sell it. The bike had a lock and they destroyed it. A year later we moved into a new house and have yet to get settled, and put the bikes in a hidden area in the backyard. Somewhere around last night to early this morning someone went through the gates, and took the bike (it had no lock). Strangely enough they didnt take the pink bike next to it, that also had no lock. We only know the time frame it was stolen. They most likely entered from the alley into our yard to take one of the bikes.
