Default bike got nicked @ train station, whats my play? (beat)

so i went to work today at 5 and locked my push bike up at the station. it was with one of those long cable locks that you can weave around your bike. i wrapped it around the pole and through the inside of the frame and thought that was pretty steal-proof. i checked to see if i had locked it correctly and went to buy a ticket. however i came back to discover it had gone

Here's a diagram of how i left my bike:



when i got back the grey cable was still around the pole, and my mind is at a loss to how they managed to either: somehow defy the laws of physics and pass the cable through the main bar, or manage to pick/break open the lock, steal the bike, and then decide to lock the cable back up and leave it there. i probably screwed up with locking it but am prepared to admit it if someone helps me out with how, cos i'm at a loss atm.

cheers for any help BBV

Equipment was not recalibrated, and the experiment was performed again on October 28. This time, Eldridge not only became almost entirely invisible to the naked eye, but actually vanished from the area entirely in a flash of blue light. Concurrent with this phenomenon, the U.S. naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, just over 600 km (375 miles) away, reported sighting the Eldridge offshore for several minutes, whereupon the Eldridge vanished again and reappeared in Philadelphia, at the site it had originally occupied: a supposed case of accidental teleportation.

they probably took apart the bike, a lock can only do so much.
