Incident Description: 
My bike was left—locked to one of the bike racks on Ashland, under the highway—outside the Metra Clybourn station between 4:10pm and 9:30pm on Monday, September 21st. There was no evidence, from what I could tell, that the bike had ever been there when I returned for it. My friend's bike had also been stolen in this manner recently.
