I locked my bicycle to a sturdy sign post outside my house overnight, and it was gone in the morning.
I used a U-lock around the rear wheel and sign post (inside the rear triangle of the frame). I had a heavy-duty cable lock through both wheels and around the post as well. Cable lock was left at scene; it had been cut on the lock (not cable). U-lock was missing.
