Incident Description:
My bike was locked up in an open air parking lot, on a bike rack outside my work (Steppenwolf theater). I used a Bordo lite lock (http://www.modernbike.com/itemgroup.asp?igpk=2126199753&TID=367&gclid=CISo7a3X2rgCFepFMgod6nkAhA) and someone snapped it at a joint and left the lock and took my lovely precious bike!! I saw it there all day & it was there when I went to the restaurant across the street at 9:30pm but gone when I came out at 11:30pm.
I guess I should have known that the Bordo was too good to be true - it is light and compact, but obviously easy enough to snap.
