Incident Description:
I arrived at the Logan Square Blue Line station on my bike at 8:30 a.m. on Sep. 7th, 2016 and locked it directly underneath a camera outside the stop. I went to class until 1:45 pm and when I returned to the station, the bike and lock were missing and another bike was in it's place. I purposely locked it next to a group of people handing out religious fliers as they do every morning and in plain view of a police camera because I thought no way in hell someone had the guts to walk up with bolt cutters in broad daylight on a weekday morning and jack a bike that was recorded directly in front of them.
