- Description of incident
-
Bike was left locked with two locks, a heavy duty chain padlock and a U steel bolt, to a bike rack. They cut the U bolt with bolt cutter and left it, but the other lock was taken. It occurred between 4:15pm on August 14 and 6:45am on August 15. I believe was targeted; there were many more bikes locked to the other racks in a similar fashion and mine was the only one touched. A man approached me as I was locking my bike and asked for directions to a bike-messenger service and I think he was trying to distract me so an accomplice could grab it and run, but I wasn't biting and kept my attention on my bike.
