Incident Description:
Someone defeated a kryptonite mini ulock while the bike was locked to a bike rack in front of Union Station in the loop. This was a brand new ulock, and close to the toughest you can buy. The lock was removed from the scene so I do not know how it was compromised, but I would guess it was cut. A similar style, but much older and not in very good condition, bike was left unlocked in the exact same location where my bike was stolen. An older all-white Gyro helmet was also locked to my bike and stolen.
