Found Someone's Bike

I found a bike on lawrence near the post office (between western and rockwell).  Would really like the bike to be returned to owner. Figured I would post here and on craigslist, any other suggestions?

Just spoke with Mia, it was in fact stolen and presumably abandoned after getting a flat on not having the right shoes for clipless pedals.

Thanks to everyone for keeping this thread alive until Zach saw it.

This is pretty awesome.

Two awesome people had their rad bikes ripped off and in less then 3 days they have both been returned thanks to the Chicago bike community being full of awesome people who look out for one another.

We should all get hugs.

Mia, please report the recoveries to the Chicago Stolen bike Registry.

Not to be a buzz kill, but I've now learned which bike this is.
It was listed on the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry almost immediately on June 27.
If you enter "Stolen [make] Chicago" in google it's the very top hit.
Had you looked at the Registry before starting this thread you would have seen it on the first (most recent) page, maybe even at the very top.
Would be interested to know where the search process faltered?

problem is that you need to search in google! searching in the registry gets you nothing!

Didn't realize the site displayed things out of date order.
