Raleigh SC-30
What happened
Locked a Sage Green 1999 Raleigh SC-30 with an integrated key lock to the bike rack at the Jefferson Park CTA Terminal on Tuesday June 9 at 7 a.m. Upon arrival 5 hours later than usual (10 p.m.), bike was gone and integrated cable/lock was lying on the ground. Looked like a previous attempt had been made on the cable and whoever it was came back with something stronger to cut the cable. No sense reporting to CTA, they don't care or take responsibility for stolen bikes. Didn't file a police report because we don't have the serial # and all previous stolen bikes we reported to police were never recovered. The pisser is this SC-30 was in excellent condition (and just put in a new inner tube, which will be how I can identify the bike) but its resale value is only $75.
