Incident Description:
The lock was not unlocked or broken. It is a new kryptonite u-shape lock with a flat key. It was mangled a little, but totally in tact. They must have sawed through the bike to get it off. There were some scratches on the cross bar of the lock that looks like something was scraping it repetitively (like it was in the way of sawing). My helmet was locked up with the bike and it too was mangled some. It looks like some one tried to crush it.
Sorry for the bad picture. It's the only one I have.
