Incident Description:
I locked my bike up to a newer street sign (the ones telling people to pay at the parking box) since all the parking meters had been removed and the bike rack was full. It appears that someone unbolted the sign post and lifted it out of the housing and slid my lock out from underneath. There was no evidence of tampering with my lock, but the street sign's bolt was gone (it was there when I locked it up).
