Incident Description:
I biked to MSi with my son in a bike trailer, parked it at the north east bike rack because it would not fit at the packed north west rack with the trailer. Parked around 4:35 and came back out to leave just at 5:30pm. The bike, our helmets that were attached to the lock, 2 bike locks were just gone. The baby trailer was left - but they took the pin (which is weird cuz they had to unhook the baby trailer & just took the pin?). The frame and front tire were locked to the rack with a cable & combo lock & the helmets, frame & back tire were locked together in the Ulock. I'm hoping the bike is abandoned somewhere around 57th street/the point/hyde park because i'm not sure they could get the Ulock off the frame & back tire. I asked the cabbies who were sitting there but they said they had only been sitting for 10min max & did not see anything. Waiting for security footage that is going on facebook when they get it on monday. We think they thought it was a pricey tri bike because i have the aerobars on there but its just the low end version. how did they think the kid who came with the bike was going to get home. jerks.
