Had a small gym bag in his hand, probably to conceal his cutting tool. My guess is that the guy was casing the bike racks (lots of people ride there to work and shop) waiting for someone to lock up with a cheap chain. My bike, locked with a Kryptonite and thick cable, was fine. Found the woman inside the market and asked her if she had leant her bike to someone. She said she hadn't so I told her it was stolen. Her response? "Oh well." She also told me she was going to bring her good lock but didn't bother to.
