Incident Description:
My bike was locked to the bike rack that I always lock it to, the one behind my building. The area is kind of dark and I think a lot of bike/parts theft happens there. I didn't ride my bike to work that day (thursday) because it was raining. My boyfriend came home from work and noticed that my bike wasn't next to his and thought it was odd (since it was raining and I probably didn't ride to work). We went out to check after I came home from work (11pm) and noticed the cut cable lying on the ground next to the bike rack. THE THIEF HAD LEFT AN OLD BIKE, one that they probably "switched" for mine. It was a med. sized red road bike that was pretty beat up.
