Incident Description:
our apartment building has had frequent (more than 3 incidents in 5 months) security issues lately and took the time to crack the kryptonite u-lock from my bike and leave no trace, along with a second bike of ours: an orange/brown female frame swhinn suburban with rusted rear brake and gear shift cables. they came in through a hole in the fence where our landlord inlaid the mailboxes, into the area between the front house and the coach-house which we live in. from there, they cracked the lock on our bikes and walked out. based on previous break-in attempts, it is most likely the same person or people watching us for new goodies.
