less than two hours
Incident Description:
In order to move some items around in my apartment without my bike getting in the way, I locked outdoors. In haste, I only locked the seat post (only removable with an allen wrench) to the inside of my fence. I live 30 yards from Wrigley Field, it was broad daylight, and a game was going on, which means lots of foot traffic in the area. I thought that there was no way someone would fuss with removing a seat post with an allen wrench in broad daylight with that much activity going on around my building.
