Incident Description:
i locked up my bike in front of an arts supply store at 5.45pm at a fairly busy intersection (right next to the brown line L) in a commercial/residential downtown area and came back after a yoga class at 9.15pm found it gone, with the cut cable lock on ground. think the theft happened really fast because there's always people around - across the street from a bus and L stop, in front of a big, well-lit arts supply store. there was some construction at that end of the street, which meant pedestarian traffic was less than usual.
