I rode my bicycle to work on Wednesday October 1, 2025. I locked the bicycle to a metal bike rack right outside my office building, at approximately 221 N. Wells St. in Chicago (my office building is 222 N. LaSalle). The bicycle was locked with a Kryptonite U-lock, and both wheels and frame were secured to the bike rack using a lock and cable. When I left work, the bike and the lock were no longer there. I do not know how the theft occurred or how many persons committed the theft.
I believe this bicycle theft may have been caught on camera. There is a camera at the corner of Upper Wacker and Wells that should show where my bicycle was locked and who and how/when the theft occurred. There also is a Huntington Bank location at that same street corner, and the bank appears to have multiple cameras looking both inside and outside the bank, so those cameras may also show who and how/when the theft occurred.
The bicycle is in almost-new condition, with no real distinguishing features. It is a 2025 model Specialized Allez road bike in "Satin Maroon/Silver Dust/Flo Red" color. Black grip tape. No modifications to pedals. I had been riding it for about 2 months.
