Sidewalk in front of an open business.

Less than 8 hours
Incident Description: 
Stolen in broad daylight on one of the busiest streets in downtown Chicago. Lock and bike were completely missing. I have a theory that a van or truck pulled up to the bike rack (there is a temporary loading zone right next to the racks), cut the lock and drove off quickly. There was no report at building security by anyone who might have seen something.
