Incident Description:
I went into the plasma center at 3324 W Lawrence at 1130 in the am. When I came out at 130pm I found a cut lock where my bike was locked up at. No one from any of the businesses right next door saw a thing and I filed a police report via the 311 service. Wire locks are definitely provide a false sense coupled with having the bike at a busy intersection didn't seem to deter me from becoming a stolen bike victim. This is a pretty cool service that I happen to stumble on while trying to find out if bike ever do get recovered. I've got high hopes that some good will come from all of this. Thanks.
