Maybe it was a bunch of drunk high school or college students who thought they were doing something clever.
Good work on the repair. The moral of the story is, Steel is a beautiful thing!

I see this daily here in Cambridge UK
People lock up their bikes in the city at night when they go to a restaurant or shopping etc, and drunk students just smash the wheels (normally front aswell as back)
on a monday morning, you normally see several smashed bikes

Things in Cambridge have come a long way. Someone told me a story of attending the college there in the 1950s. He paid £1 to the police for a bicycle, and he thought it was an annual rental. He leaned his bike against a building and it was gone. It turned out that bought him a right to use any bike in the fleet. It was an early bike share program. No one locked any of the bikes, and there was no accounting system.
