Incident Description:
My bike was locked along with my boyfriend's bike to a rack outside of Crown Hall at IIt on Saturday between 1 and 4. When we returned the bike lock was cut and my bike was missing. (his was still there) The bike lock was a generic cable lock (learned my lesson about locks this weekend). I posted about this bike on everyblock chicago and two people from the bronzeville neighborhood said they saw an african american male riding a bike that fit the description. He had "puffy" hair and was wearing a white tshirt and jeans. They saw him riding it on Saturday night. I filed a report with campus security but was not able to file a police report because I could not get through to an officer. If anyone has any info please let me know. I live in MI and was visiting for the weekend, it was not a good introduction to the city. :(
