What happened
My bike was locked to a wire fence that separates the yards of two apartment buildings. Access to the area is through a locked metal gate. The last time I am sure the bike was in this place was around 10am on Sunday, Aug. 9 when my neighbor walked by the bike, then asked me whether it was mine. At noon on August 10th I found that the metal chain locking the front wheel and body of the bike to the fence had been cut. I did not find evidence of a smaller combination lock chain that had locked the back wheel to the body..
