Incident Description:
Locked my bike across the street from The Vic while at a concert. There was somebody ushering cars in to the parking structure across the street so I locked my bike to a sign post near her in hopes that she may be there most of the night and her presence would keep people from tampering with my bike (I forgot my Ulock key so could only use my combination cable lock). Two+hours later, left the show and bike was gone, cable lock on the ground.
