Incident Description: 
My bike was locked to one of the bike racks on the lower parking level at the South Loop Whole Foods. I was in Starbucks and Whole Foods for a combined maximum of 30 minutes. When I went back for my bike, it was gone, along with the lock. I immediately spoke to customer service at Whole Foods, who called the security people. Nobody saw anything. I filed a police report. I imagine the lock was cut and taken along with my bike... not sure why the lock was taken, except maybe to eliminate fingerprints.
