Incident Description:
My bike was parked in a thoroughfare on grand off Dearborn, U-locked to a street sign pole. I was having dinner in India House restaurant. The pole was unscrewed from it's base plate and the bike was stolen with the lock. There was an alley near the pole as a dark tunnel to flee with the bike. That said, the valet drivers were active parking cars in front of the bike. The alley also had chefs/ helpers of the restaurants in the building.
