Description of incident
My husband and I rode our e-bikes to our friends Christmas party at 1725 SE 50TH AVE, Portland , OR 97215, arriving around 7:45pm on 12/23/22 and locked our bikes to the large, solid metal street post on the corner of SE Mill and 50th ave. We used kryptonite locks, my husband locked his top tube directly to the street post and I locked my top tube to his. We also engaged the rear wheel Dutch locks on the bikes; these locks go through the rear spokes and effectively make the rear wheel rotation impossible without destroying the wheel if left locked. We were leaving the party around 2:15am on 12/24/22 and when we walked outside our bikes were gone. The lock used on my husbands bike was cut and left attached to the street post. We checked for tracks in the snow and we couldn’t see any that would match our bikes, so it seems as though they would have been transported in a vehicle. The bikes are heavy and they were attached to each other and the rear wheels were locked so they couldn’t be ridden away. They would have been quite cumbersome. Additionally, the way the bike lock was cut, it seems that the top tube of the blue bike may have been cut to free the bikes since the opening of the lock is only approx 1/2inch, which is not enough clearance to get the top tube free. We had zip ties around the wheels/tires to add traction in the winter storm. This bike is dark gray with a red front rack and black rear rack. It has a black pannier bag on the left side of the rear rack and a Ergon saddle with carbon rails. here's a link to the bikes: https://www.bennobikes.com/e-bikes/escout/
