Incident Description:
Bike was locked to a post of a railing on the 3rd floor landing. Bike was not easily visible from the sidewalk or the courtyard, so assuming the bike had been cased. Discovered bike was missing Monday morning (7/19). The post had been pulled from the railing, and the thief slid the lock (and the bike) up off of the post once it was separated from the railing. Marks on the post show that it had been tampered with. It's also now separated from the banister...though it appears some attempt was made to screw the post back in?
