Incident Description:
I locked my bike in the parking lot of the Clybourn Metra station at 6:30am. There's a bunch of bike racks underneath a shelter. When I returned at 6pm the bike was gone and a new bike was already parked in its place. Half of the lock was on the sidewalk. They had cut through the U lock just under where it connects to my bike when it's stored for riding.
