Incident Description:
Just bought a brand new fixed gear bike(walmart - Thruster 700c fixie bike) and this was my first time riding my bike into work at the CBOE building on Van Buren and Lasalle. Parked the bike at 7am. Went back out at about 9:30am to check in on it and the bike was still there. At the end of the work day at 5pm the bike(and lock) was completely gone. Dozens of bikes are in this area...but they took mine. I think they were able to figure out the combination to the bike lock. Next time I'm getting U Lock with a flat key. And a huge guard dog.
