Lemond Poprad
What happened
The bike was locked with the mini U lock of newer type (flat key) by its rear wheel and through the rear triangle (very secure) to a roughly 3/4 inch or 1 inch metal upright supporting a wrought iron fence. To take the bike they cut through the similarly thick top cross tube which the vertical tube intersected. They to make two cuts in the top tube to separate it from the vertical tube and then another incomplete cut in the vertical tube which allowed them to bend it forward, clear of the top tube. They then lifted the bike off of the vertical tube. I presume they then took it somewhere else to wrestle with getting cutting the ulock and/or somehow bypassing the locking skewers securring the bike componenets.
