Incident Description:
I locked my bike to a sign post and went to see a movie around 7pm. After the movie I went to a bar. When I came back around midnight, the sign post was lying on the ground out of its base with the sign's bolt lying next to the base. I saw no sign of a tool being used so the bolt must have been out when I locked up the bike or stripped so that it was easily removed. I assume that the thieves took the bike with the newer u-lock with flat key still attached.
