Incident Description:
I parked and locked the bike with 2 locks (U-lock and cable) to a bike rack in front of LA Fitness on a very busy corner @ Grand & McClurg in downtown Chicago. Other bikes were there, but they were older/crappier compared to mine. I should've known. I went to the movies, came out, the bike was gone, but the U-lock remained. Talked to the receptionist at LA Fitness who was useless, no surveillance camera. Same thing from the crabby security guard at the high-rise apartment building at the opposite entrance. His only "help" was to tell me, "Yeah, at least 3 bikes a week are stolen." Gee, thanks, jackass. God forbid you'd do anything, like post a sign that says, "DON'T LOCK YOUR BIKE HERE - IT'LL GET STOLEN!"
