Incident Description:
I lock my bike BEHIND a security fence at the back door of my apartment. I locked it with a heavy Kryptonite security chain, through the frame and rear wheel, around the largest support post of the fence. The chain was cut and the only evidence was a single broken link left behind. I think someone did not ensure that the security gate was fully closed, and that the thief was able to come around to the side the bike was locked on and cut the chain. Bike has front and rear reflectors as well as an led taillight. I discovered it was stolen when I got home this afternoon.
