Giant Cypress DX
What happened
Bike rack was located on the side of the building, very close to main entrance. Many bikes are locked there continually. My husband's bike was locked on the side part of the rack, and thief sawed through the rack itself, and lifted the bike and lock off. Also stolen at the same time was a seatpost/seat from my bike, locked next to his, but on the main part of the rack - and it is not quick release. This thief travels with tools (saw and allen wrenches). After school let out (June 11) we counted 5 bikes stolen from this same rack over a period of 2-3 weeks, with similar rack-cutting or lock cable-cutting incidents. So far, no U-locks have been cut that we can see.
