Incident Description:
The bike was locked with the cable loop to a bike rack 30 feet from the entrance of 3616 North Pine Grove Avenue for approximately 24 hours. The cable was looped around the rack bar through the bike frame and rear wheel. I removed the front wheel and the seat. I last observed and looked over the bike and rack at about 11:40pm APRIL 19th. The theft occured sometime between 12am and 8am on APRIL 20th and I believe this was enough time to observe the bike and lock to determine how to cut the cable. Again the front wheel and seat where removed so this had to be carried back to some location and/or vehicle. There are plenty of bikes along this street, but mine was the newest in appearance. The front gear had the chain in 2nd gear and the rear gear had the chain in 5th gear.
