Incident Description:
As I was riding home, I stopped and put my bike down at Augusta and Rockwell. I walked a few feet away, paused to talk to my boyfriend for a few minutes and when I walked back for my bike it was gone. My fault, I know, but this bike has great sentimental value. It was my aunt's from the 1960's and my man built it up beautifully (and bought me the saddle for my birthday.
