Gitane, vintage

What happened

Left bicycle in the ATM vestible of Chase bank, went up to teller (no line) completed my transaction, returned to my bicycle and it was gone. I asked those at the ATM and they said an Asian kid took it, heading north/west on Milwaukee. I phoned police, they arrived within ten minutes. Chase refused to pull security tapes so I could get an accurate description of the thief so I can only go by what I was told by a witness.
