Incident Description:
My bike currently featured gold handlebar tape, an Aerospoke front wheel that is black and fades to silver in the center, and a black selle italia gel flow seat.
I was dogsitting at a house and arrived to the house around 3:30am and locked my bike to the wrought iron fence with a large chain lock. I woke up to a loud noise around 4-6am (i was out of it, sleeping obviously) but thought nothing of it. He cut two bars of the fence and slipped out the lock. This guy was very daring, very fortunate to get away with my bike, and very fortunate to still be walking around able-bodied.
