It was locked to an iron railing in the parking lot behind our building. It had been locked here - when not in use - since July/August 2023.
Incident Description: 
The AirTag on my bike last checked in on 4/23/2024 at 5:08 pm. I did not notice the bike was taken until 1:55 pm on 4/30/2024. It seems an angle grinder was used to cut through the chain. Two of the ringlets were partially left behind. My partner's bike - the same bike - locked up in the same way, just a few feet behind mine was not touched.
