I attached my bike to the metal fence outside the 437 New York Ave, NW apartment building (Yale Steam Laundry). I went inside around 5pm. When I came out 2 hours later, just after 7pm, it was gone, along with the cable lock (I didn't have my U-lock with me) and my helmet. I have attached my bike at the same location before without any issues. It is a very busy street, right by a highway ramp.
