Incident Description:
Bike was locked in front of Rush University while I my husband was visiting his mom at Rush. Came out to check on it a few times during the day, like he had done on previous days when he had locked it up to the same bike rack. There was even a security camera trained directly on the sidewalk where it was locked up which didn't deter the thieves. Three other bikes were stolen the same day, including one locked with a ulock. He had the bike seat so unless it's been replaced by the thief, it will be missing the original Schwinn seat.
The worst part about it being stolen besides the loss of transportation is that my brother gave me the bike when he worked for Schwinn so it has sentimental value.
