Incident Description:
The sign post I attached my bike to was buried in the ground. The post was easily lifted and bike and U-lock were removed together. Someone may have walked off with the bike, but it makes more sense that they drove up in a car. The people who did this likely steal bikes from the location regularly because they new to slide the pole out and I assume did so with little hesitation. There is a chance that the person simply walked out of the park to steal the bike as well.
