Incident Description:
Locked to a rack at a busy section of Damen just near St. Paul. I was visiting a friend's house for Fourth of July festivities. Didn't plan on staying long as it was getting late. After saying hi and bye after 45 minutes or so, I proceeded to go to the bike rack and find my front wheel along with the newer u-lock w/flat key left hanging. Yeah, I didn't lock it up well. My fault. But it's still not cool.
