Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Mountain Bike
Serial No.: 
unknown
Size: 
17"
Color: 
green
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
The bike is in good condition. I just bought a Selle Royal black saddle for it, and it has a black bike rack over the back tire and a black milk crate attached with zip ties. I'd recently had the derailleur replaced because the shifting was off (apparently on that Trek model they tried having reverse derailleurs for a while but they don't work well when made for the lower quality bikes). There are two small cables hanging from handlebars that used to be attached to a mechanism to show you what gear you were in, but I'd removed the thing because it didn't work well, but I didn't bother to remove the cables. The bike was locked with a blue Bell multi-sport helmet. The bike had front and rear detachable lights as well.

Incident Description: 
I locked the bike under the Damen Brown Line stop last night to the bike racks on the west side of the street. I spoke with the CTA employee on duty at the time I noticed the theft, and she indicated that she'd seen my bike (she was able to describe the milk crate and helmet attached to it) this morning at 9:00 am. She mentioned noticing 2 teenagers hanging around under the Brown Line in a suspicious manner but she did not actually see them steal the bike. When I came to pick up my bike at 10:45 am, the bike and lock were gone.
