My landlord called in the report while the theft was taking place. The bike and the person were gone by the time the police arrived. The man was seen using a torch to remove the combination U-lock that was around the front tire and the frame of the bike. Someone spotted a bike they suspected to be mine in Portage Park (Irving Park & Long) on 9/20 around 11pm. A call was placed to the police but they fled the scene before police arrived (again).
