Incident Description:
Was at Millenium Park for the Wednesday night concert on August 3. Security informed me that my bike needs to be locked at one of the bike stations. I locked the bike with two different cables and thought the bike was safe since there were several other bikes locked at this station and there was a lot of people and activity at the park. After the concert I returned to the bike station, both cables were cut and left with the bike obviously gone. (Ed note: Unclear what victim means by "bike station"-- likely referring to public/unprotected bike rack; did not leave contact info)
