Incident Description: 
I had U-Lock around frame and bike rack with the cable going through the front wheel. I came outside after work to find the bike gone and the cable lying on the ground. I am not sure how they got the u-lock off. They cut the cable. Looks like they tried twice as there was a partial cut in another place on the cable.
