Incident Description:
I locked the bike with my cable padlock to the bike rack, then I used a small U lock I have to lock the front wheel to the frame (because its easy to remove). It was parked at the 57th metra station, slightly to the east of the entrance where there are a few bike racks. I didn't see any remains of the bike, it was just completely gone.
