Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Garage or enclosed parking area.

3-4 Months
Incident Description: 
The bike and the lock were both completely gone. I have no idea how the lock was broken as this was a brand new U-shaped lock that I purchased less than 1 month ago. I just don't know how somebody could have broken that lock. The bike is amongst many others in an enclosed parking garage. I have also submitted a report to CPS parking, which will probably yield no results although they do have security cameras in the garage. I thought the location and lock set up was very secure, but I guess I was mistaken.
