Incident Description:
Bike was locked to the 4" thick wooden support rail of my porch overnight. Was there @ 7am when I left for work in a downpour, but was gone by the time my neighbor awoke at noon. Thieves cut through porch railing with a reciprocating saw or jigsaw and removed spindles to free u-lock. ***
