Incident Description:
The bike was ULocked to another bike AND the iron fence. The other bike was found still locked to the fence but it had been sawed in half at the frame and quite banged up. The place they were locked is our outdoor parking spot in the back of our building- directly in front of our parked car. We were away for the weekend but our car was out back. It took place between Thursday (11/11) and Sunday (11/14). The parking spot is next to an open lot and the entire area is very open and well lit.
The bikes are both very recognizable- there are few dealers in Chicago and from what we can tell we were the only ones with this style and color.
