So my commuting to work changed back to the train this morning after someone took a real shine to my bike yesterday and decided they would take ownership. Stolen from in front of my office building in downtown Chicago, broad daylight under the eye of a CCTV camera, bold as brass.





The above is what remains of my bike, the lock.

I have reported it to the Police, my Office Building and the insurance company, and now I get to buy my bike all over gain. I will stick with the same bike, maybe upgrade the lock and certainly look at the security aspects of where I park my bike.





I have a video of the theft, well I have seen it and should have a copy by the end of the week. Its amazing to see how easy it seemed to be, and judging from the tool marks this guy used a portable cutting tool, like a diamond cutter and was away in very little time.

I will not be put off riding to work, but I may be in the market for a $100 bike for the purpose, rather than leaving my preferred ride unattended all day.

Any comments, advice, sharing etc welcomed. For the record if anyone is offered a 2007 Fisher Cronus, 19" Frame with the Serial# WTU203S0034A I'd be keen to hear about it, not that I am all that hopeful.

Thanks for reading,

Jon
