I live in a garden apartment and had secured my bicycle beside the stairway using both a bike lock and a cable wire lock. Despite this, my bike was stolen. I noticed burn marks on the wooden stairway near where the bike was kept. It appears this fire damage could have been caused while cutting through the bike lock. The day before the theft, we also had a shoe stolen from outside our apartment.

My bike club was leaving Carbon restaurant on 26th st and a fellow member offered me a ride home.
