Incident Description:
Bike was locked to the bike rack in front of the Brown Line Paulina Station at 6:30 am. At 3:30 pm I returned from downtown to find the bike gone, the lock was on the ground by the bike rack. It looks like someone tried to cut the chain but figured some other way of getting it off. I've only had the bike about a month and it's my main source of transportation. Any help is appreciated.
