Incident Description:
My bike was locked in front of Loyola's Damen Student Center on the North side in the bike racks (Between Damen Building and Mertz Dormitory). I left my bike locked there for about 10 hours, but the last time I checked it was still there (6:30pm). I left it and came back to it at 8:50pm and the bike was stripped of the Crank, Fork, handlebars, and basket. The bike itself was still there (frame wheelset and seat), but the thieves used specialized bike tools to take apart the parts off my bike. I have left my bike in this general area for the past 2 weeks and I have a suspicion someone in the neighborhood has been scoping out my bike. I reported to my campus's PD and gave them a description of the situation. There are some cameras in the area but there I do not know if it could have caught them in the action. They had told me that the kids in the neighborhood have done this type of thefts to other Loyola students. The crank that they stole is an SRAM S100 1.1 Courier 48t 170mm with a black plastic pedal, the fork is an i803 Carbon Leader Fork with stem, the handle bar they stole was a Crew Co Drop bar cut into a bullhorn with red/black camo handlebar tape, and the front basket was a black Wald pizza delivery.
The thieves literally only took these parts and left behind the screws and bolts behind.
