Bridgestone 500

What happened

Bikes were locked up while having lunch, we were inside for maybe 45mins max. Came out and bikes were gone. It was on a busy street in the middle of the day. No idea how they broke the lock, it was locked to an actual bike rack. We think it's a repeat offender from the area and we have some video potentially.
