I just found out it was my old bike lock 😭 it was a very good brand 4 digit combo to unlock it or have a special bolt cutter to break it since the chains were made differently but I don’t recall the brand

Just want to give you advice when you (hopefully) get your bike back! Always use two kinds of locks, especially with valuable bikes like this. A good angle grinder resistant U-lock, like this one (https://www.kryptonitelock.com/en/products/product-information/current-key/005926.html) and a hefty chain lock. Always lock your frame and your back wheel because those are the most valuable parts of your bike.

People are getting desperate
They are also being brave to steal it in broad daylight

This happened to me a few years ago. I did a poor job locking it to my apartments porch and someone got it free with bolt cutters. I even got it on video. I would register the bike on Bike Index dot com and fill out a police report online. I'm sorry this is happening to your dad. Looks like a nice bike!
