Used as commuter bike. Was locked at 8:30am. When I returned at 5:30pm, the bike was gone.
After retracing steps, it's obvious to me that I failed to lock the cable wrapped around frame and rear wheel into the U-lock. This allowed thief to disconnect front wheel with quick release and take the rest of the bike.
