Theft description:
I was on Northbound Caltrain 309 in the "second bike car" (closer to the south end of the train). We arrived at the Milbrae Caltrain station around 6:49AM. I was sitting in the upper level seats (near the rear of the car), watching my bike on the lower level (bike was near the front of the car).
Someone in a black hood got on the train unhooked my bike and got off. I yelled at them and also got off the train. They rode the bike down the train platform to the North.
Talked with the one of the conductors, Shea, who saw someone a bike "really moving" down the platform. They jumped a bart turnstile on the northern end of the platform, tried to get on Bart, missed it, jumped the Bart train tracks, and ran up the set of stairs on the other side of the bart tracks (all with the bike still in hand).
