How long was the bike locked in this location?:

Incident Description: 
I rode my bicycle to work on Wednesday October 1, 2025. I locked the bicycle to a metal bike rack right outside my office building, at approximately 221 N. Wells St. in Chicago (my office building is 222 N. LaSalle). The bicycle was locked with a Kryptonite U-lock, and both wheels and frame were secured to the bike rack using a lock and cable. When I left work, the bike and the lock were no longer there. I believe this bicycle theft may have been caught on camera. There is a camera at the corner of Upper Wacker and Wells that should show where my bicycle was locked and who and how/when the theft occurred. There also is a Huntington Bank location at that same street corner, and the bank appears to have multiple cameras looking both inside and outside the bank, so those cameras may also show who and how/when the theft occurred.
