“It has nothing to do with the Bears,” he said.

The equipment was insured, and the stadium and subcontractor are working with police to identify the thieves and determine what steps can be taken to better secure the area, Serra said.

The Chicago Police Department said detectives are investigating the theft. No one has been arrested, police said.
