Incident Description:
On my way to work, I locked my bike up at the Sedgewick Brown Line stop. I removed the front wheel and placed it next to the back wheel. I then fitted the u-lock through both wheels, body of the bike, and bike rack. Upon my return to the bike at the end of the day, I found no signs of a bike or wheel or bike lock. There are cameras on site to which I asked the CTA representative, "Who might I contact to see video surveillance as my bike is no longer there?" His reply was uneducated and referred me to dial 311. I submitted a police report and will be inquiring about the video surveillance from the day.
