Hello Chainlink. I have yet another misfortune in the biking world. My custom made bike was stolen from Wicker Park yesterday. The bike is very distinctive because all parts are different companies along with some stickers that were on the bike. **On the front of the frame where the headset goes is a sticker that says "My friend died because someone opened the door" and along the seat tube down to the cranks is spelled out "TECHNICS" in gold/black font**. I had the bike for one day. I do not have a description of the criminal but I can say that he is a teenager around 16-18 and latino. I have already filed a Registry report but I realize my chances are slim. I have filed a police report for the sake of filing one because I know they wont find it. With your help I maybe will, keep your eyes open, download the picture, make it your homepage (jk), anything to help! Much appreciated!
-the bike was last seen in Lincoln Square [ Lawrence and Clark ] and around Amundsen High School. Actually, I think the kid who stole my bike goes to the school.

Do you mean be more descriptive with the title? I was told the frame was pike, but I guess I should have been clearer. Like Black and Gold Pike fixed gear

That is accurate! Thank you. I read a few forum topics and I am aware of the award situation that it promotes thieves to steal. I just wasnt thinking about that whilst writing this topic. I mainly posted it so that it would receive more attention, I know for a fact that no one will find and seize the actual bike and call for a reward.

I received an email from a gentleman who told me he saw "A shorter portly latin kid was riding it with two others on mountain bikes" and "As well as the kid struggling to get his foot into the cages." He saw this the same night my bike was stolen. He gave me an intersection where he saw this punk. The coordinates hint at the Lincoln Park area, so my hunch was slightly on the right side.

Lawrence and Clark, so if anyone resides around that area please keep a watchful eye for my gold beauty.

At first my hunch was that the thief might have been from Lincoln Park. This later provided to be slightly correct, because I got an email from a tipper who said he saw a portly latino kid riding the bike west bound on lawrence and clark. I did not post to chifg.com yet, but I will in a few minutes. My friend posted an ad on craigslist. The title said the the bike is for sale but when the user clicks onto the ad is describes that the bike is actually stolen and not for sale. So I received an email from a tipper who described what he saw with his eyes and that he was sure that that was the bike.

this bike is a beauty and I feel really bad for the owner.
If anyone sees this bike in the area described - please take your u-lock and lock it up ASAP in a public place and call 911 and the original poster immediately. then print off the CSBR entry and show the police,
and the get owner there for the re-union.
