Incident Description:
Locked bike in front of open business with heavy foot traffic at approximately 10 pm. Locked bike and husband's bike with one lock to the street sign. Went to go see a movie at AMC Theater. When we walked back to the bikes the lock was cut and left on the ground and my bike was missing (was locked on the outside). Husband's was left behind. We waited several minutes to see if someone was coming back for his bike too. Nobody suspicious really showed and workers at the Grand Lux that were parked right beside the bikes did not notice anything unusual.
