Incident Description:
I had brought my bike onto a CTA bus (the 72 North Ave bus), and the bike was on the bus' bike rack in the front of the bus while I was on the bus. About 20 minutes into the ride, I realized that my bike was missing from the bus rack, and alerted the driver. The driver had said a person was waiting at the bus stop at North Ave/Kingsbury St and gestured repeatedly that the bike was his, and if he could take it. He took the bike and rode away on it, going down Magnolia Ave across the bridge. The driver had asked the bus repeatedly if the bike belonged to anyone, but I did not hear them. I realized my bike was missing about 5 minutes after the theft occurred. I had not seen for myself anyone stealing the bike, and this information was told to me by the bus driver. The CTA was alerted, and police report was filed the next day. The bike was only sitting on the bus' bike rack, and was not locked to the bike rack on the bus.
