Incident Description:
I rode my bike to the Diversey Brown line station at 8AM locked my bike and took the train to work. I returned to the train station at 8:30 PM from work and found my bike missing. I think that the bike lock was either picked, or they had a clipper/saw that broke the skinny part of the bike body and then stole my bike. Other bikes were there that morning. The area is blocked so perhaps its an easy place to hide tools while trying to steal a bike.
