Incident Description:
Usually never leave my bike outside, but I was in a hurry and didn't have a chance to bring it up to my apartment. I locked it by it's frame to my side fence where it's not very visible. Before I upgraded to the velocity rims, I had previously left my bike out here every day/night for the past year and have had no problems.
Came out early the next morning to find my frame hanging with now wheels. Rims were pried off with all the proper tools.
Wheelset was almost brand new in great condition. Please keep you eyes out for anyone trying to sell them. Thanks!
