Incident Description:
The bike was usually locked with a combination cable lock (black) to a railing at the rear of the residence. I do not know if the bike was locked on the night of theft, as I had come home with groceries the evening before and may have forgotten to lock it after bringing groceries inside. At midnight of the night in question I noticed a car parked on the side of our house (it is a corner lot, so the patio is visible from the street. The car was a newer white station wagon-style car with darkly tinted windows. I had never seen this car before and haven't seen it since. I don't know for sure that the thieves were in this car. Note: the picture shows the bike before I installed the seat, bell, and right pedal.
