Trek Soho S 2010

What happened

I RARELY leave my bike outdoors, but I left it locked with a Kryptonite Series 4 Evolution U-lock. I made sure I didn't leave big spaces in the lock, and I kept it high off the ground to prevent crushing and to make leverage difficult. The pole was firmly cemented to the ground, and had stuff attached to the top. It was outside for six, maybe eight hours. In the morning I found the lock cleanly sawed through, and my baby no where in sight.

Condition

Good condition , less than 1 year old. There used to be a bell on the left grip, but it was unfortunately knocked off. I never got around to removing the hardware, so that's still attached. I attached a rear rack and black milk crate to the back. The milk crate is attached using black nylon cable ties, a rear light is fixed to the basket with a cable tie. The wheel rims and spokes are painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, which is peeling a bit but still glows.
