Incident Description: 
I opened my garage door to take my bike out, then went back through the garage to close the door and go out the front door. I do this every day, and the process takes 15 seconds. This time someone took my bike during those 15 seconds. They must have been watching me. They also left a grocery bag full of crappy plastic dishes in its place, leading me to believe that it was a homeless individual who had just found the plates in a dumpster, but then ditched the plates and took my bike when the opportunity arose. I ran in all directions but didn't see anyone. This mountain bike is 10 years old and has 14,000 miles on it. It's not worth anything, but it was my baby. I am heartbroken today.

Incident Description: 
My bike was taken out of the basement of the house I rent an apartment in while I was at work on Memorial Day. It was still in pieces from moving from out-of-state and wasn't locked up. I think it rather unlikely that a stranger walked in and took it, it was probably someone in one of the other 3 apartments in the house. I called all the bike shops in McHenry county to keep an eye out for it but it's very possible that the thief took it into Chicago to sell. My bike is fairly unique looking (see the description) and should be easy to identify if it's in it's original condition. I would have posted on here sooner, but just learned of the site. The color is darker than in the Mountain Bike Magazine clipping I uploaded.
