Incident Description:
I left it in front of the Dominick's and hopped onto the purple line for a quick jaunt to and from Evanston.
Locked up at 2:15 and returned at 6:45 to find it gone without a trace. Noone around including a Streetwise vendor who had been there the half of the time or the employees at Dominicks, knew anything about it. So so so sad. I assume it was taken earlier than later, but I can't be sure, and also not quite sure how the lock was broken without leaving any pieces behind.
