Incident Description:
Bike was parked under the bridge at the Ravenswood Metra station. I try to park it toward the outside of the overpass area, where there is more foot traffic. U-lock (kryptonite) went through the front tire and around the frame (and attached to the bike rack); back tire was secured to the frame of the bike with a wire lock. Helmet was also attached to the lock. I have no idea when it was stolen; I parked it there in the morning on my way to work and it was gone when I returned at about 6:15 pm.
