Axiom Journey DLX seatpost rack
What happened
My bike was locked to a bike rack outside the Metra station while I was at work and only the rack (which attaches with bolts) was taken off it, not anything else that was bolted on, such as the seat or water bottle cage, and I couldn't see any other signs of problems with my bike. I have no idea why someone would go to the trouble of unscrewing four bolts to steal just the rack, and not just take the seat/seatpost it was attached to as well, or not try and steal the bike (although I'm happy they didn't). I'm assuming I'll never see the rack again, but wanted to report it here since it was a bike-related theft from an area that always has a number of bikes in it. The police were confused/didn't really care when I reported it, I'm guessing because it wasn't actually a bike that was stolen.
