Incident Description
Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Front of building in residential area.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
10 hrs
Incident Description:
I'm very sure that I locked it to the bike rack, but the cable I used was somewhat old--though it should've locked the bike optimally. The only thing I can think of is that the lock's cable was cut and whoever took it, took it all with them. It was locked at the railing above the Midway Mart at the corner of South Campus 6031 S. Ellis Ave. I guess some distinguishing characteristics of the bike is that I've installed a flashing tail light under the seatpost, as well as a lock mount above the crankset. If stolen, those would probably not be removed/noticed.
