Incident Description:
Bike was locked to the rack at the north end of the Rock Island Metra platform at 95th/Beverly/Longwood (Beverly Subdistrict line). I locked the bike up at 6:15am and it was gone when I returned at 4:15. The rack is at the far end of the platform away from the ticket agent/building (which doesn't have a view of the rack, and they leave mid-day anyway). 2 other bikes were locked to the rack when I returned, but not mine. A report was filed with Metra. Chicago police have not called back yet.
