Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

I arrived at work at about 9:40am, with my GoPro recording. I locked my bike to the bike rack by running the combination cable through the frame and the front wheel. The rack my bike was secured to was a very sturdy city-owned black bike rack (not a "sucker-pole"), the kind that is a single metal frame secured pretty deep into the sidewalk pavement. (Shaped like a big staple.) At 6:00pm, I came out to find my bike missing, and a different bike in its place. The security footage shows that at 3:35pm, a black male wearing a red hat, grey loose-fitting pants, dark-colored jacket, black & white shoes, and a backpack, casing the bike rack area, inspecting it, shaking the bike a bit, then using a screwdriver to remove the cable lock quickly, and rode away on the bike southbound on Wacker. Security is watching vigilantly from now on.

Bike was stolen from the Cumblerland Metra Station in Des Plaines, IL. It was locked to the fence by the station shelter on the Northwest Highway side. The thief either cut the metal cable securing the bike and lock to the fence, or may have been able to unlock the u-lock using the combination code. The proprietors of the restaurant across the street, didn’t remember seeing the bike get stolen. But, there are cameras at the station, so the thief may be on video. The Des Plaines police are investigating.
