Incident Description:
I was using a Kryptonite series New York Fahgettaboudit 1410. As far as I know, it has the highest security rating. I have seen videos of people cutting through them with very large cutters, but I really can't say for sure what happened. There is no evidence of there even being a burglary--no shavings on the ground, no lock or pieces left behind--they took the bike, the New York disk lock and the 15lb steel chain. This is the second time in a month a Kryptonite lock has failed me. I purchased the bike October 1st with the lock. The rack it was attached is where all the other tenants lock their bikes--mine was the only one stolen--again. It is definitely a noticeable bike and I hope it can be found.
