Incident Description:
Went to the zoo with my family, beautiful day, practice day for air show. All 4 of us rode our bikes. We locked them to bike racks 30 yards from main entry. My bike was locked through the frame and rear wheel to my daughters Trek bike. I made the mistake of looping cable through both bikes and rack, but not using my U lock to attach to frame. Cable was looped to bike rack. So thief only had to cut the cable and he got 2 brand new bikes. There were crowds of people and police everywhere.
