Gary Fisher Wingra

What happened

Bike was in a storage/bike room that had intermittent door problems (lock on the door was continually broken and fixed). The bike storage system in the building used these cables attached to the wall with a loop at the other end to slip a lock through. I had a U-Lock going through the front tire, the loop, and my frame and a cable lock going around the back tire and the frame (locking the tire to the frame). The system was defeated by the prying open of the loop. No evidence of locks left behind - assume that they carried the bike off to an alternate location to dismantle locks later.
