Incident Description:
Bike was left hidden in bushes along the wooded ravine path to the shore of Lake Michigan just East of the intersection of Maple and North roads. Several young people, aged ~16-25, were seen leaving the Lake front walking up the path, presumably returning to their parked car at the top of the ravine path. Bike was not visible from nearest street. People that park near this path to the lake shore do not have a Lake Bluff village sticker and are trying to avoid paying to get down to the beach and parking illegally. Someone leaving the lake front probably picked the bike out of the bushes on their way up to their car and drove off with it.
