Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Sidewalk in front of an open business.
How long was the bike locked in this location?: 
It was in that spot for a period of 4 hours when stolen. I park there almost every day for 8 hours or more though.
Incident Description: 
Was locked to a bike rack outside my work at North Park University at 1 pm. Around 6 a friend asked where my bike was, and I discovered it was gone. On site security said that he hadn't seen the bike when he first came to the area around 5. The bike and lock are entirely gone, and the back rack is still intact. I'm assuming they cut the cable and ran with it.
