Incident Description: 
My bike was locked to one of the many bike racks in front of the Jefferson Park Blue Line train station. I found my cable lock around the bike that was next to mine on the rack. The lock was closed. I was able to open the lock with the key but upon trying again the keywould no longer turn the lock. I found that I could easily remove the plastic cover over the lock and I figure that the thief cut the plastic cover off to get to the lock and picked it.
