On Friday afternoon someone cut through my U-lock with an angle grinder!
In the middle of the afternoon!!
Right after I got done warning someone about locking up with a cable lock.
BYE BYE bike #2 to Chicago bike thieves. Great way to start the summer.

Thanks, Laura.
Yeah, very frustrating that using a U-lock is no longer enough . . .
The only sighting of someone cutting a U-lock that's ever been reported to me seemed to fit the profile or a metal scrapper with a professional portable metal cutoff saw than a portable angle grinder.
Bizarre that so few of these are witnessed. And definitely on the rise for the last year or so.
Laura said:it was on cornelia between sheffield and halsted. but really Im sure these assholes are everywhere.
I did not have internet access until today so I could not post it on the stolen bike registry right away. I'll post it and make a report as soon as i get the serial number on monday. Also I talked to T.C. about the flea market that you guys went to on saturday already and he said he did not recall seeing anything that resembled my bike.
