Incident Description:
I rode to UIC on a bike that I barely had for a week. I locked it up in fron of Student Center East, which is located on Halsted and Polk. I headed inside the building and I was only gone for about half an hour. When I returned to my bike, it was gone. I filed a report with UIC Campus Police. When the police officer and I investigated the scene, we found out that the theif rode a cheap mountain bike next to mine and took my bike. The thief had to be following me because I locked my bike up in a place where you can't really see it riding down halsted.
