Incident Description:
I locked my bike up outside the Irving Park Brown Line station at about 8:55am on 8/5/11 and then proceeded to walk the extra block to my work. When I returned to retrieve my bike at about 6:20pm the same day, the bike was gone and there was no sign of the lock. That area is extremely busy during the work day and there are constantly people exiting the train station or heading to it as well as the businesses surrounding the station, so the cut and steal must have happened very fast for somebody not to have seen it happen.
