What happened
The bike was locked to a bike lock station (the upside down U's staked into the pavement). Location was on the east side of Ravenswood street, just North of Wilson. About a 30 second walk to the Irish bar on Wilson/Ravenswood. When I went to get my bike at around midnight, the bike was gone and just a little piece (inch long) of the U-lock was left on the sidewalk, which is how I know it was cut. Also, the stakes that held lock station into the pavement were loose, so it is possible they tried to first pull the whole station out of the ground.
