Incident Description:
Bike was stolen by detaching the front wheel from the frame (the only time I have EVER forgotten to secure the lock around the wheel and the frame). The incident happened on a very busy street during the end of daylight/beginning of twilight and in only an hour. It would have been obvious to passers-by that the bike was being stolen as the thief would have wheeled away the bike on one wheel.
