Incident Description:
The photo is not my bike, but mine looks very similar to this model. What happened: I locked my Trek green/silver mountain bike to the bike rack in front of my classroom building. After class, I saw the bike (2:45) as I went to the gym for a quick run. I had locked the bike to the rack through the wheel, not including the frame. During the 45 minutes I was in the gym, someone detached the frame from the wheel and took off, despite there being people around that area of UIC's campus all the time. I hadn't realized I had not locked the frame in. So frustrating! Thanks for looking.
