2011 Trek FX 7.3
What happened
I was out of town, this could have been stolen any time in a 8 day period. Bike was locked to itself with a kryptonite U lock. I used a steel cable to wrap around a wooden pole holding up a deck/fire escape, that cable was locked into the U-lock. That cable also looped through my GF's bike, 'locking' them both to the pole. Her bike and 6 others stored in this location were not stolen. Sadly this location is in full view of a heavily trafficked alley, and residents in my building often forget to lock the gate. I can only assume someone had cased the bike, came late at night, the gate was unlocked, cut the wimpy cable, walked off with the bike to work on the U-lock at their leisure.
