Incident Description:
Bike was locked to a bike rack with a U-lock and cable lock through both tires. The quick release tires were locked and can only be removed from bike w/a key (which I have). Bike rack is in front of 231 S. LaSalle St. corner with Jackson Blvd. Bike was locked at 8:45AM, and when I returned to the bike rack to retrieve the bike at 6:45PM, it was gone, along with the U-lock and cable lock. Nothing left behind. I took a picture of the rack at time I realized it was missing.
