Incident Description:
The bike was locked to a city bike rack underneath the Metra over pass, right next to the Healy Metra Stop on Fullerton and Central Park. I locked it with a U-Lock, through the frame, the front wheel, and used a cable lock through the back wheel. The only fault was that I left the bike overnight there because I did not take the train home at night, and I forgot to get it. When I returned to the Metra station this morning, my bike was gone. There are usually about five other bikes parked there on a daily basis, and its a busy area, but at night it I can imagine someone having the time to saw through the lock, even though it is in a public area.
