It sounds like you'll need the Fahgettaboudit on the Georgetown campus.
When he returned, the bike was gone and his twisted Master lock was left on the ground. There was also an empty suitcase nearby.
The police informed my son that groups of thieves troll campuses in the city with suitcases of tools, steal bikes and then travel out of state to sell these bikes at used bike stores. The impression was that the thieves are professionals.
Last week, while walking through Red Square, my son found another Master lock on the ground, twisted and damaged in the exact same manner as his lock.
It's too bad that while the campus police believe that professional thieves are targeting students, they don't seem to have any plan to deal with it beyond warning people.
