Incident Description:
I chained my bicycle to the fence-area of the CTA entrance on the 33rd side of the Sox/35th Red Line platform. I returned to find the bike & the lock missing at approximately 8:45pm. A friend of mine works for the CTA, & he immediately called to see if there had been a bike cut from that location (he was on the same train as I was), & he was told there had not been a call to remove a bicycle from Sox/35 that evening. I have chained my bicycle in that exact space multiple times over the last two years without incident. There are multiple cameras at the 33rd side of the platform, & one very large CTA camera right above where my bicycle was locked.
