Incident Description:
I locked my bicycle with 2 locks. It was not big U-locks. One was a fairly sturdy combination cable lock, the other was a fairly cheap cable lock with a non-integrated key lock. I had locked both the front wheel with the frame at the bike rack. And the back wheel with the frame and the seat at the bike rack.
I went to work in the morning and came back to an empty bike rack. It was a really busy day with plenty of people all around the bike rack. This did not prevent someone from stealing it with the locks.
