Incident Description:
Like a tourist I left our bikes locked to the bike rack in front of the hotel. And bam! - these bike-stealing-motherfing-scumbags clipped the lock and took our brand new Electra beach cruiser and our old faithful GIANT mountain bike. We love Chicago - but this pisses us off. Lesson learned. Buyers of stolen bikes are no better than the goddam thieves. Stop the madness.
