Incident Description:
I was working in my apartment very late, and I heard some roaring noise outside but I didn't think to look outside to where my bike was parked. The next morning I looked out and noticed that my bike was gone and also the janitor of the building noticed it was gone too and asked me what happened. We both saw the "cut" u-shaped kryptonite lock(in two pieces) on the ground near where it was parked. I'm sure it happened very late at night or early morning --- I'd say around 3:00am. I think somebody has seen me park my bike out front of my building all the time or the thief was cruising up and down the quiet streets looking for parked bikes outside.
