Rivendell Sam Hillborne

What happened

I park in this location on most days that I work. Probably 4-5 times a week. The bike is a really pretty nice and sort of rare. Someone may have scoped out my bike there before or just realized it is a valuable bike. There are usually a lot of bikes locked in that area, so I would guess it's a "usual" spot for thieves to pass by.
