Bike was locked to bike rack under the bridge at Ravenswood Metra Station at 800am on south side of Lawrence. Locked with an Abus folding lock that was cut straight through no problem. Looked like they even used a plasma torch or something judging by how smooth the cut is.

Bike was locked in center of bike rack between two other nice bikes with U locks.

I arrived home at 9:00pm on July 18th. I locked my bike using a Kryptonite U-Lock to a bike rack with two other bicycles attached to it. The bike also has a Pinhead brand locking system that secures the seat and both wheels with a lock only the owner has the key to. I went upstairs to my apartment, ate dinner, and went to bed around 11:30pm. I woke up at 7:45am on July 19th, and at 8:50am attempted to leave for work. I did not hear any commotion during the previous night or the following morning indicating a theft was taking place. However, when I inspected the bike rack, I found a broken piece of what I believe to be my bike lock lying on the ground where my bike was secured. It appears percussive force was used to break the lock at its base.

Bike is in a locked yard, out of easy view. Special bike frame, step through because I have mobility issues. Was locked with a strong lock, but to a wooden fence.
