Incident Description: 
My bike was locked to a bike rack in the covered off-street parking off Armitage at the Clybourn Metra station. It was locked with newer U-lock through the front wheel and frame, with a cable run through the back wheel. I parked it there Sunday late morning and was not able to return to it until very late Wednesday night. The bike and the lock were gone. The whole bike parking area only had a couple of bikes, unusual for that location. The rest of the bike parking, about 15 racks along Armitage were completely empty. It looked like the whole area had been cleaned out.
