Incident Description:
I came home from work just before 4:00pm on Dec. 27 and noticed the bike was gone. The back door of our apartment was open and its window broken with a brick. Footprints in the snow show that the thief or thieves climbed around our rear fence, broke in and handed the bike over the wooden fence near the back door. The police were called and a report filed. The alley where the bike was taken is not a public area and thieves may be local to Logan Square.
