I came out early saturday morning and my bike was missing, along with the lock.

I was dining with a friend at Summer House, on Halsted. Before I entered I parked and locked the bike onto a street sign on the sidewalk.

When I finished dinner and walked to retrieve the bike, it was no longer there.
