2 Bicycles—With Locks—Stolen From Geneva Train Depot

Bicycles left for long periods at the train station and in danger of getting stolen—even if they're secured with a lock.

Two Geneva police reports showed bicycles were taken on or about Aug. 28. In both cases, the victims were commuters, the bicycle locks were also taken, and the bikes were left unattended for long periods of time.

Here are the reports:

Reports said the owner generally rides the train to Geneva, then rides his bicycle from the train depot to his place of work, Altech Environmental on Kaneville Road. The bicycle was valued at $400.

According to reports, the owner arrived at the depot and secured the bicycle with a lock just outside the commuter train structure on the south side of the tracks.
