Incident Description: 
I rode my bike to the Rogers Park Metra's station. I locked my bike on the bike rike underneath the overpass, then went to work. I came back later at around 6:30 and the bike was gone. I'm assuming someone either walked by, or drove by, the metra station was pretty empty at that time, and they decided to just cut the lock and go off with the bike.
