Incident Description:
I'm a courier. I went into one of our clients, Cafecito's 26 E Congress location, to make a pickup. I freelocked my work bike up against the front window of the restaurant. I was in there for about 5 or 6 minutes. When I came out the bike was gone. I spent the next forty-five minutes searching on foot, on the assumption that whoever took it couldn't have gone very since it was freelocked, but didn't turn anything up. I also radioed in to my dispatch, and immediately it up on social media, in case any of my coworkers or other couriers or anyone else in the area spotted anything.
