Incident Description:
The bike was locked at 37 S Wabash Ave, in front of one of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's school buildings downtown. It was locked to the metal pole of a street sign in front of the entrance to the building at 9:00 am before class. The bike was still there when I left for evening class in another building. When I returned at 9:00 pm, the bike was gone, the street sign was still in place, but I noticed that the bolt that afixes the pole to the base was gone (I forgot to check before I locked the bike whether it was there when I locked up initially). When I reported the theft to a security guard at the school building, she said that about two hours prior, she had been outside the building and saw someone messing with the bike. She asked if it was his bike and he said that it was and he had forgotten the key.
