I was leaving the hospital at about 3:30 p.m. and found my bike was missing with the u-lock on the ground; the cable I use to secure the front wheel was missing. The u-lock showed a clean cut through the metal. Based on the striations that could be seen on the cut portion makes me believe the u-lock was cut with an electric angle grinder.
