Left work at 3am and went out to my bike - the keyhole for both the U-lock and battery pack had been shoved full of dirt. Dirt froze and I was unable to get the lock off. Saw a suspicious car pull up and watch me as I was trying to remove the bike so I called Boston PD to be sure I was safe. Left the bike at 4am to go home and wait until 8am when I could get the bike unlocked with tools from work. Bike was stolen between 4am and 5am -- Airtag showed movement at 4:49am but has been missing since.
