Incident Description:
Two bikes were locked to a city bike rack, on the corner of Michigan and Madison, using two cable locks. We went into the restaurant in the park to use the restroom. We returned less than 10 minutes later to find my bike gone, the cable cut, laying on the ground. The other bike was still there but the second cable lock was also gone. Nobody in the area came forward with any information so we conducted a small, limited search of the area. We had problems contacting CPD on the phone so we walked to the station at State and 18th to file a report.
