Incident Description:
I arrived at Casey Moran's around 7:30PM. I stayed for a few hours, ance when I left around 11:00PM my bike was gone. It was locked with a cable that I've used for 4+ years. The bike and cable were completely missing, there were no traces of anything. The cable came with 3 keys, and I still have all 3 in my posession. The bike is a green GT Transeo LTD with a Shimano Nexus Inter-8 hub, with front and rear fenders and front disc brakes (Avid BB5). It looks like a single speed with a large silver hub. The bike should be very distinguishable.
