The Chainlink

From Amber Crain:

Chicagoans... a few months ago my boyfriend's bike was stolen from outside his downtown office in the loop despite being locked with a kryptonite u-lock. He got a new bike, the strongest u-lock available and a chain lock.

Last week, someone attempted to steal his bike again. Below is some video footage. The thief wore a yellow "official looking" public service coat while using an angle grinder with sparks flying. You see where security began questioning him, at which point he attempted to show a security badge, but then fled.

This is a notice to all Chicago bike riders as well as pedestrians. If you see this, say something!!!! This guy is a professional. Please share this post with your Chicago friends. Even if we can't ID him by sharing the post, we can drive awareness that this scenario isn't official - it's theft.

Wow, great catch by security!

What building did this happen at?

Yeah, that looks like the right building. I'm glad that building security intervened.

Hoping the would be thief accidentally cuts his male membership off with that grinder. 

I hope they catch this thief 

Looks like the better u lock paid off btw, bought him that much more time until someone noticed and intervened. 

This is crazy. This city has a serious problem with bike thieves.

Why?

Perhaps people should just jot down the serial number of their bike. Simple. 

Hey why don't you go ride your bike, get off the internet, and stop being a troll.

Sorry for what? 

Sorry but not really sorry. See trolls^^
