Incident Description:
I locked my back to the rack through both the frame and the wheel at about 8:45 AM and came down from my office at about 3 PM to find the bike missing. Employees at the make-up shop on the corner of State and Madison told me that the manager (who had left by the time I arrived) saw an African American male pulling on the lock, and she went to the door and he went away. He then returned and took the bike and headed north on State St. She called the police and they came and took a description, and there are cameras that face the bike rack. When I filed the police report over the phone they told me that they cannot connect my report to the police that arrived on the scene.
