Incident Description: 
Bike was locked at 7pm, Aug 19th to a large parking sign pole bolted to the ground. At 9am, Aug 20, I found the pole had been unbolted and left on the ground. It's possible it was taken in a truck/van/car because the ulock was locked around the wheel and frame. I assume it was stolen after midnight because the bars are open until then and there is a lot of foot traffic.
