Incident Description:
My bike was stolen from my apartment building on Sawyer and Belden yesterday in Logan Square. At 5:30 AM I heard a loud noise that woke me. I thought someone was inside my apartment. Once I cleared my apartment, I went back to bed thinking it was a vivid dream. At 8:45 AM I went downstairs to bike to work and noticed that the porch I'd attached it to had been vandalized. The strong wooden railings had been smashed to bits.
