Bianchi Via Nirone 7
What happened
I have class in a graduate program at the Merchandise Mart. I last saw my bike at 1:30 pm and when I left the building at 6:15 pm it was gone. The thief had mockingly left the link he had sawed through lying right at the scene. This is the important part: the bike lock is THE toughest heaviest bike chain and lock system commercially available. It's designed for MOPEDS. The thief had to cut it with a hacksaw, in broad daylight or at sunset or just after, for I suspect the better part of TEN minutes outside the largest office building in north america (barring the pentagon). It is NOT possible that no one saw this. Shame on the cowardly, selfish bystanders for letting this happen.
