Incident Description

Front of building in residential area.

Incident Description: 
The bicycle thief broke the kryptonite lock (newer u-lock w/flat key) and the iron fence the bike was attached to, in addition to cutting the fence with a hacksaw (although he didn't cut all the way through). The bike was also on the inside of the fence, so the thief must of had to either lift the bike over the 5.5 foot fence, or walk it out of the enclosed fence. The bike was stolen in front of my 2 flat apartment on Friday the 13th, sometime in the evening.
