Bingo! lil brown bat wins the prize for guessing how my bike was stolen. I have a bad habbit of leaving my side door to my garage closed and unlocked. The thief walked into my back yard, checked the door and grabed the first bike he saw (my commuter).
All my bikes now get pad locked to the rafters and my garage door is always locked.
