Incident Description:
Bike was parked inside a roped off area at the Chicago Full Moon Jam just south of Foster Ave by the lakefront. Bike flipped upside down, along with several other bikes, within the roped off area, right next to expensive performance gear. Gear not taken, just bike. Bike was in place at 10:15pm. Organizers began taking down rope barriers for area and bike was gone by 10:30. Another bike, parked right next to mine (black, thin frame) was left in place and not claimed by anyone by the time all organizers were ready to leave & park nearly empty. It's possible the owner of the black bike took mine by mistake, but also likely owner of black bike just forgot about it. Black bike i being held by event organizers.
