Locked the bike to a street sign in a pinch because there were a lot of other bikes around. Many people were out on the street. Went into a space up the street to see a performance and when I came out the bike was gone. The screws at the bottom of the sign had been removed. A small kryptonite U-lock was around the front part of the frame; I don't believe it was broken, just slid off. It's a very distinctive bike (more pictures are here on the Lugs bike shop blog. http://lugschicago.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html). I feel terrible for not locking it more carefully. I really love this bike.

2 bikes were locked together and to a tree. Bike Frames were U-locked to each other on either side of the tree, a cable was also used to secure the 4 wheels to the frames and tree. Bikes were locked at 12pm outside the apartment buildings on Chicago ave. across from the South Evanston Purple Line Stop. When the owers came out to retrieve their bikes at 2:15pm they were gone. No sign of the cable or the u-locks and the tree was unharmed.

My bike was stolen in broad daylight off of a bike rack in front of my office building. The thief cut through my u-lock with some type of saw or grinder. There are marks on the lock where you can see trenches cut by the blade.

Bike was locked along with a 3 wheel handcycle. stolen from basement garage.
