Incident Description:
I road my bike to exercise at XSport-Lakeview, arriving at 6:10; when I finished and came out, the bike, lock and cable were gone. I suspect the cable was cut with chain cutters, and the bike quickly loaded into a truck or van. It was all done in site of people exercising in XSport, so it must have been stolen quickly and deftly
