Incident Description:
The bike was U-locked securely to a city sign last night when I walked past it around midnight when I left to go downtown today around noon, the bike was gone, my friend's bike was on the ground lock still on it and I noticed the bolt, nut and washer from the bottom of the sign were also lying on the ground. I was up past 2am and could tell people were still walking around and since it is so close to a busy street like Broadway, it had to have happened much later in the night.
