Incident Description:
My bike was always locked to the same light pole across the street from my apartment building. It was securely locked using two ULocks and a cable (locked to frame at both front and back wheels, cable connected the two locks and secured bike to pole. I have no idea how someone could have gotten my bike :( It's been "safe" there for the two years I've been parking it there. The light pole is impossibly tall. I saw that it was missing - nothing left behind.
