Sole Foamside

What happened

Bike had a U-lock around frame and wooden post of our balcony on the second floor. Our balcony is visible from the alley, and despite having a locked fence around the balcony area, it is scalable. Someone must have seen the bike, climbed the fence, walked up our stairs and simply kicked the wooden post. If the thief hasn't sawn off the U-lock yet, it will still be around the middle of the frame. I didn't hear or see anything, other than the broken post this morning and no bike. Could have happen July 7 or 8, as I haven't checked my balcony since.
