Incident Description:
I work at Peet's Coffee and Tea. I have ridden my bike to work there five times a week for the entirety of the summer and spring and periodically in the winter. Yesterday afternoon I locked my bike outside of work, worked an 8 hour shift, and then got out of work. My bicycle was still locked. I spent the night at a friend's house in Evanston and went to work again this afternoon at noon. My bicycle was there this morning at noon. After work at roughly 10:00pm, I went outside to go get my bicycle and it was no longer there. I searched the meter for signs of tamper and discovered both pieces of my cut Kryptonite Ulock on the ground by the meter.
