Caught on video camera:
Corner of Stockholm Street and Evergreen Avenue, a maroon Ford Explorer SUV pulled up alongside the bicycle, and thief #1 opened the passenger side door.
Thief #1 cut Kryptonite U-lock with bolt cutter-like tool within 2 minutes.
Thief #1 then rode off with bicycle the wrong direction, southwest onto Evergreen Avenue. Thief #1 waved to the vehicle, gesturing for driver -- thief #2 -- to proceed southwest.
Presumably, this means that the thief went to a storage area, bike shop, or flea market southwest of 259 Evergreen Avenue.
Thief #2 was the driver, who rode off down Stockholm Street.
Based on video, thieves' vehicle seems to be a maroon Ford Explorer SUV, probably 1999 or 2000 model year, "Eddie Bauer" edition.
