Incident Description:
Locked this bike with my wife's bike up together with a big heavy duty chain on a bike rack under the El tracks on North Avenue in Wicker Park (close to Milwaukee, North, and Damen). Came back after an hour and the Fuji was gone including the heavy duty chain but my wife's bike was still there LOCKED UP WITH A CHAIN THAT WAS NOT OURS!!!Seeing that the other bike was locked up with a combination lock, we assumed that they would come back.My wife called the cops. While she was still on the phone with 911, we both see a young male ride by us on my bike! When I started running after him he sped up. I chased him for a block but was not able to catch up. My wife was able to give a description while it was happening but have not been able to get the bike back yet.
