Incident Description:
My bike was locked on a rack along with a number of other bikes at the Ravenswood train station. I left it in the morning and when I came back about 5:15 pm, it had disappeared along with the lock. Many other bikes were still locked there, but there was no trace of mine. I can only guess as to how the thief or thieves was able to defeat the 2008 Kryptonite u lock I was using
