Incident Description:
I rode my 2011 locked the rear wheel and frame to a bicycle rack on the east side of the Performing Arts building of UIC, near the intersection of Harrison and Morgan St. I went inside the building from 5:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. on Tuesday May 6, 2014. When I came back to retrieve it, someone had taken both the front fork and front wheel. In order to do this, the person must have had both a wheel wrench and an allen wrench. The front fork is a Trek T1 original carbon fiber fork, black with a small light blue design on both sides. The wheel was an original black Bontrager wheel with black spokes. The tire on the wheel was a Fixation Session 23c.
