Incident Description:
Bike locked up outside of work to bike rack. Two doormen at Avenue Hotel claimed to see a tall, African American man 'yanking' at the bike about a half hour before I came out of work at 5:30pm. Doormen assumed the bike belonged to the man and thought he forgot his key/combination. The men said he looks like he could have been homeless. Cable lock was at the location where the bike was locked, with the combination parts in pieces on the ground. I was periodically checking on the bike from my office on the 12th floor, at 12-1pm the bike was still where I had left it at 6:30am that morning.
