What happened

I have locked the bike to this same signpost a dozen times without a problem. It's a sturdy, bolted-down post that showed no signs of having been tampered with. I'm guessing the U-Lock and cable was cut. There was nothing left behind at the scene. It is a residential area, directly in front of my friend's condo. We were 30 feet away, tops. There's a lot of traffic there as well. It must have been quick and clean.
