Incident Description:
My bike was folded and collapsed and locked to a bike rack at 8am. At 4pm the bike was no longer attached to the rack and I noticed significant damage to the area where the bike rack was attached to the sidewalk as well as loose bolts. It may have been possible to move the chain under the spot where the rack was grounded due to the loose bolts and broken foundation. I loves my bike, please find it, and may a swift and harsh justice be done to whoever stole it.
