Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Front of building in residential area.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:

Incident Description: 
The bike was u-locked to a sunk pole in a wrought iron fence. The other bars in the fence connected to the sunk pole with 4 cross bars, two up top and two at the bottom. The thieves cut through the connecting cross bars up top, two on each side of the pole, and bent the fence back. This allowed them to lift the u-lock up and over the pole, as the cross bars no longer stopped the u-lock from going up.
