Novato/ Marin

What happened

Bicycle was parked in front of my apartment & a 24/7 laundry business, with one U lock through the front wheel, frame, and sign post and another through the rear wheel & frame. I last saw my bike at approximately 8am on Saturday, July 28th. I noticed that it was missing, locks and all, on Sunday, July 29th at approximately 5pm. The sign itself does not appear to have been tampered with in any way, so it is my guess that they popped the lock somehow & took it with them.
