Rocky Mountain. Model: "Sherpa"
What happened
Went into Chase Bank at approx. 2:45pm, broad daylight, business district street with many passing pedestrians and cars. Was inside 10 minutes max, when I returned to the sign to which I had cabled the bike, my cable was cut and bike was gone. Oddly a silver aluminum "Magna" dual-suspension mountain bike that was not there when I locked my bike was left leaning against the newspaper vending machines only 3 feet from where my bike had been stolen. Police and I suspect the thief "traded up." The silver Magna--which was brand new, complete with store sticker and chain that still had the original factory grease on it--was taken by the Oak Park Police Department. If the Magna is yours call Oak Park Police to recover.
