Incident Description:
My chain was looped around my bike and my friends, securing both to a sign post. Came out of the bar around 10:30 and saw my chain laying on the ground next to my friends bike, steal leaning on the pole. Both my padlock and my bike were gone. Guessing someone drove/walked by, cut the padlock quick with bolt cutters, and rode off like a bandit. LIKE A BANDIT!
