Incident Description:
I locked my bike outside my apartment to a fence surrounding a planter around 12am Tuesday night. Other bikes are locked here and the fence itself was not compromised. I did not look for my bike this morning when I woke up but when I returned home around 11am my bike, along with the U-lock and the cable securing the front tire were gone. I live near UIC school of medicine campus and I believe a professional must have done this seeing as my bike was securely locked. There are plenty other bikes locked on my street but there are a few old striped down bikes as well. I had too nice of a bike to leave locked outside but I figured on a Tuesday night it would be ok. I have not seen any questionable people in my neighborhood but I have heard that there are a lot of thefts and muggings since students carry laptops ect.
