Incident Description:
I parked the bike outside of the Art Institute at 2:15pm on August 18. By 4:15 I had exited the museum and the bike was gone. Another man also had his bike stolen from there as well at the same time. We asked the security guards if there was any video surveillance around the museum and he said not where our rack was. Apparently someone was able to clip two locked bikes in front of the museum in the middle of the day on a busy sidewalk within two hours.
