Incident Description:
I had gone to work in Lincoln Park, Upon arrival, I had placed my Sekai bike against the building that is next to my job. I simply went 10 feet away for a minute to text my boss and when I turned around my bike was gone. It was 5:30pm and was tired from riding and simply sat next to a building that had a stoop, I never imagined someone would ride off or walk away with my bike. I slightly got distracted by passerby's but I was away from my bike for no more than 10 min. I turned around after texting my boss and my bike was gone. I never heard anyone ride my bike away and I never imagined this would occur in broad daylight in Lincoln Park, Chicago!
