Incident Description:
Bike was locked to the fence outside the Jesse Spaulding School. Had a Kryptonite lock cut. Looked like the lock was cut with some sort of power tool because the cut was very clean, and not done with a hack saw. Bike was stolen during pitchfork, I heard there was a truck going around stealing bikes but nothing was done to stop the truck. There could be many more similar reports. Lots of loitering individuals in the neighborhood as well.
