Incident Description:
Video surveillance shows the thief hanging out in the bike station atrium acting like he was working on a problem with his bike, he then exits off the camera shot and presumably cuts the lock on my bike and lifts it over the railing and out the door. He leaves his crappy messenger bike (which he might also have stolen) near the door. Image shown is not my bike, but a photo of a similar bike.
