Incident Description:
I can only imagine that someone had a cable cutter and they cut the cable and ran with the bike. It was surprising because the front of FFC on Clinton is very busy at 5PM. They must have been very fast. Clerks in the front of FFC did not report seeing anything unusual. As a matter of fact, one of them has their bike parked out front as well.
