Incident Description:
It was locked to one of the poles that's used to stop cars from going through an area behind my building. I had wrapped the lock through the frame of the bike and through the front wheel and around the pole but everything could have been lifted off and thrown onto a truck pretty easily as the pole was only about 3 feet tall, I was hoping since it was behind the building tucked in from the alley that it wouldn't attract too much attention but apparently someone cruising through the alley saw it and decided to take it.
