Hey Mia, did you file a police report?
Also did you register that it was stolen on the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry?
You can access that by going to forums and its the first sticky message!
Good Luck!

Mia,
Here's the link to the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry:
Additional details can be added later as they become available.
Thanks for the report-- additional details to info (at) stolenbike.org when you have them.
Best way to file a police report is via 311, late at night (no wait time.)
I'd be interested to hear your experience with the shop in trying to get the serial number from their records.
This is exactly why I give out a detail sheet giving a full and complete listing/description of the bike Im' selling and all components including the SERIAL NUMBER with every bike I restore and sell. I also give out a separate flier sheet that has a link to the free lifetime multiple-bike registry service at http://www.bikeregistry.com/
Keep the info sheet and the login-password to bikeregistry.com in a safe place. If the worst happens all one needs to do is click the stolen link on the site and then cut/paste the info directly into the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry.
A police report is a good idea but it is doubtful how helpful it will be. They don't care as they have bigger fish to fry.
I hope you get your bike back Mia. Bike thieves suck.
Also, you didn't have the bike locked to a bus stop sign did you? CTA is known to cut locks and take bikes and never leave a note if they think it is in the way.
