Incident Description:
I locked my bike on a fence located at the north east end of the building at around 12:30 pm. When it was time for me to leave the school around 6:30 pm, I looked on the fence and my bike was gone. The thieves cut my kryptonite cable lock that I used just for that day because my u-lock broke. My girlfriend who was with me at this time found the cut cable lock on the other side of the fence, I grabbed the lock and just said to myself WTFS!!! I came back to school the following day to ask the head security to review the surveillance videos from 9/21/2010 on the side where I locked my bike. Maybe then we could identify the unholy piece of s*** who stole my bike.
