The AirTag on my bike last checked in on 4/23/2024 at 5:08 pm. I did not notice the bike was taken until 1:55 pm on 4/30/2024. It seems an angle grinder was used to cut through the chain. Two of the ringlets were partially left behind. My partner's bike - the same bike - locked up in the same way, just a few feet behind mine was not touched.
