Incident Description:
Locked bike to bike rack outside of Welles Park Saturday afternoon (around 2 PM). Arrived back at location Sunday morning, approximately 9 AM. Found the remains of the Kryptonite lock, which had been cut with what appeared to be bolt cutters. The lock was under the snow, which started sometime this morning, so I assume it was stolen sometime during the night.
