Marin Muirwoods 29'er 2010 Model

What happened

First bicycle I have ever owned :( Finally brought my bike out after a month of terrible weather. Typically all the bikes in the complex are locked against a chain-link fence. Mine was locked with a Newer U-lock with a flat key around a pole, in the middle of the fence on a post. Fence runs along the side of the apartment complex. Always parked/locked my bike in the same exact post along the fence. I believe the bike was stolen somewhere between 2:30am-9am as my roommate (who works a night shift) came back around 2am and confirmed seeing my bike still locked to the fence. Thieves basically leveraged the cap on the T-joint of the post, popped it off, cut the links that the U-lock went through, and pulled the bicycle over the post. Discovered the bicycle missing when I was leaving for work at around 9:30am, filed a report thereafter. No pictures unfortunately, but a very brand-new stock Marin Muirwoods 29er.
