Incident Description:
Stopped in for a quick bite at Birchwood Kitchen (window seat just outside my line of sight!) the bike was stolen not 10 feet away from me while I read my book and had a salad...becoming the most expensive salad I have ever purchased. Im assuming whoever stole it was a professional or at least someone who works with wire cutters. The lock was cut clean through and it was done fast, couldn't have taken them more than a couple minutes, street traffic was everywhere and it was in full daylight.
