Incident Description:
We had our tandem locked with a reinforced cable and ulock in our parking space in our condo garage. I, unfortunately, had only threaded the reinforced cable through the bicycle and attached it to the ulock which secured to a metal pole. The thief simply cut the cable, rolled away on the bike, and left our ulock dangling unharmed. We generally did not keep the tandem in the garage, but circumstances did not allow us to bring it into our unit on Friday night. Someone had left the garage door open for a few hours on Saturday morning, so the theft could have occured anytime between 7:00am and 10:00am.
