Trek Earl
What happened
The bike was stolen overnight. I biked to my girlfriend's house, arriving at 12:45am, (the night of February 18th/morning of February 19th 2013); locked my bike to the stop sign off the corner of W Barry & N Pine Grove Ave, where I have been parking it almost daily without any problems for over two months now. When I left the house to head to work at 8:10am, the stop sign was lying on the ground, with a foot-deep hole in the ground surrounding the pole's base - the bike, the U-Lock, and the Kryptoflex cable were all gone. I can only assume the stop sign pole was removed from the ground, allowing for the still-locked bike to be loaded into a vehicle and transported somewhere that the lock & cable could be cut off slowly.
