Happens pretty regular.

Be glad they weren't cutting spokes.

I found a complaint about it online from a few years back. I've been parking there overnight and weekends for 3 years. By Ogilvy. This is the first it's happened to me. I've had a front wheel stolen, a skewer stolen and this. So not horrible for 3 yrs but my bike is a beater, big time. I was kind of surprised when they broke a lock to snatch the wheel.

Slashing wheels is just evil, I agree.

I'd be doubly shocked to find cut spokes though.

I hate leaving my bike out in public view. I'm just as concerned about senseless vandalism like this as I am with actual theft. How awesome would it be to have one of these near Union and/or Ogilvie?
