Incident Description:
I had locked my bike through the front wheel to the stand using OnGuard Lock... I also had a wire which surrounded the frame... When I came back in evening from work... The wire was cut and The lock was intact... I am still surprised how the thieve managed to take away the bicycle without breaking the lock.. :(
I had parked it right in front of the union station... On Canal St... There are always a line of cabs there and there is constantly people moving around... I thought it was the safest place in downtown... What really hurts me is that I have just drove it for 20 odd days and all my hard earned money is gone... If you see any Trek 7000 with front wheel spokes tempered, then please let me know... There was no defect whatsoever.... There was also a bottle rack.. if that helps.. Dont know why these people steal someone'e else belongings :( :(
