Incident Description: 
I arrived at the Sedgewick Brown Line station at 3:45pm on May 3rd, 2021. I locked my bike to the bike rack by the entrance to the station and caught a train, unfortunately being in such a rush that I forgot to notify the CTA attendant. I returned, via the Brown Line, at 5:50pm that same afternoon to find my bike gone without a trace. Between the hours of 3:45pm and 5:45pm, the lock was defeated and the bike stolen. A CTA security camera overlooks the bike rack.
