Incident Description: 
Went to the Lincoln Park Zoo on a family bike outing. Spent a few hours at the zoo, went to breakfast at the Original Pancake House and returned to find my bike and my daughter's trailer bike missing. The bikes were parked directly in front of the zoo at the bike rack. My bike was locked, the trailer was not. The bastards did not even leave the helmets!
