Incident Description:
My boyfriend rode the bike and locked it to the bike racks almost directly in front of the Irving Park Blue line station around noon on August 26th. When he came back from work around 9:00 that same day, the bike was missing along with lock. There was no employee at the station at the time he arrived and he couldn't locate anyone to talk to for about ten minutes at which point he decided to leave. The bicycle seat had been taken with him at the time of lock-up and I currently have possession of it. It is the original bike seat and has the Giant logo on it.
