Diamondback Serene

What happened

The bike was locked to a bike rack with many other bikes for about three hours. It was gone when I went to leave and the lock was not in sight. I assume they cut the cable, which I'm told can be done easily with the right tool. I am guessing it was someone/a group of people trying to steal a bunch of bikes because we walked down the beach path and at the next bike rack was one bike wheel locked to the rack and the bike was gone. I am only guessing that the thieves stole the bike and left the wheel, since it was still locked to the rack with a heavy u-lock and the bike owner did not lock the frame.
