Description of the theft
I was riding the bicycle to work. The chain broke so the motor wouldn't run. It subsequently became bound in the sprocket, and it was hard to push. I texted my wife and parked it on the sidewalk near a church. During the time I was at work (some time between 7:30am and 3:45pm) someone must have approached it and thought to themselves, "Oh. Somebody left their bike sitting by the street. It's not mine, but I don't see them around to stop me so I'ma steal it. They'll never catch me." Note: my thoughts about what they were thinking is purely speculation mixed in with sarcasm and anger over this. I mean, Who sees a motorized bike and assumes it was left there for them?
