Incident Description:
I live in Cincinnati but work in Chicago (at 225 N. Michigan Ave, 16th floor) usually four days per week. Since I do not own or rent any property here, I lock my bike on high-traffic sidewalks. On Thursday, June 28 at 3 p.m. CDT, I locked my bicycle in a rack at 225 N. Mich. Ave. When I returned to my office at 8:30 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, July 5, the bike was missing. (Since the theft could have occurred any time between 6/28 and 7/5, I am listing the time of discovery as the incident time.)
