Incident Description:
I had two bikes stolen last night, mine and my girlfriends, which is a brown Globe hybrid. They were locked together to a signpost next to the Blue Line entrance on the northwest corner of Grand and Milwaukee. Both bikes had their frames locked to the signpost, and the two bikes had wheels and frame connected with another u-lock. The thief unbolted the sign from the ground. The pic is a bit dated. It now has a Mavic rear wheel with a Surly hub and blue and white tape on the handlebars.
