Incident Description:
My wife and I had ridden to the Salvation Army Thrift store located at 509 N Union Ave from our apartment in River West. We arrived at approximately 2:30pm and locked our two bikes together through a bike rack with a single cable lock. We were shopping for approximately 45 minutes and when we returned outside, her bike was stolen along with the cable lock. My bike was still leaning against the bike rack with no cable lock to be found. This is our third day living in Chicago and this was our first bike venture outside of our apartment. I am starting to rethink our decision to move here.
