Incident Description:
Locked bike in front of Fleet Feet Sports for a morning run (9am - Sunday). Returned 90 minutes later and bike, lock, helmet were gone. Used a 1/4 in cable lock as I wasn't bringing a bag and didn't want to carry the u-lock... blast. Bike was locked through both wheels, frame, and bike rack (staple-style).
Street wasn't busy but was light and not at all deserted.
