What happened

Some time between 8AM and 3PM my bicycle was locked to a bike rack outside Rush University Hospital, in front of the radiation therapy department where I work. Someone in the hospital saw sparks flying and contacted the security department. One of the security guards tried to run after the thief. When I got off work I discovered it missing and went to the security department at Rush, where I got this story.
