On October 27th, sometime between 3am and 1pm, someone stole my bike.

Given the U-Lock and cable wrapped around the wheels, they would've had to have carried the bike away. The bike is unrideable unless the lock is cut. Attached to the bike was my black helmet, my water bottle, my orange cargo net, and various bike accessories such as lights, fenders, etc.
