Schwinn Suburban
What happened
I rode my bike to the Red Line stop at Lawrence and Clifton (1117 W. Lawrence) and locked my bike to a provided bike rack, using a heavy duty chain (links thicker than my thumb) and heavy lock (I have been using this set for 17 years). I left the bike just before noon, and when I returned just after 4 p.m. the bike was gone. My helmet was also locked with the same chain
