Bike Friday Pocket Pilot
What happened
The bike was locked to a bike rack in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art on the corner of Chicago Avenue and Mies Van Der Rohe Way at 6:00 PM. It was locked with a cable that passed through both wheels and around the monotube of the frame (it is a small and unusual shape for a bike) and was secured with a mini U-lock (with flat key) to a bike rack. When I returned at 7:00 PM, the bike was gone and there was no sign of the lock or cable. It could have been stolen by cutting either the cable or the mini U-lock, but I suspect that it would be easier to cut the cable.
