Gazelle Basic Dutch bike stolen 12/5 from Lincoln Square

Hi Chainlink community-

My beloved Dutch bike was stolen out of the garage during the night, about a block east of the heart of Lincoln Square.

It's a light grey, 3 speed Gazelle Basic.  Internal Sturmey Archer hub with coaster breaks, chain case, skirt guard, hub generated headlight.

It has a black, sprung Brooks saddle, mango/orange Basil pannier basket on the back rack.  There is also a coffee cup holder on the handle bars.  I think my extra headlight/taillights were still attached too.  One rubber spoke light on front tire as well.

Cafe lock on rear wheel was locked and there was a big ole' AUBS covered chain lock through the front tire and frame.  There is a white Gazelle logo is on the chain cover and the skirt guard.  There is a JC Lind sticker on the frame as well.

It's rather distinct.  I've filed a police report and it's been sent to the Chicago Stolen Bike registry. 

Thank you for keeping your eyes open for me.  This is such a crappy feeling.  I know most of you understand that it's more than a bike.

Sorry for your loss Holly. I also live in Lincoln Square and am kinda alarmed at the frequent thefts in the area. If you need help with the installation of an anchor point let me know, I am a contractor with high quality hammer drill to get the anchor installed properly ( I work for beer)

I am so sorry about the theft of your bike. Mine was recently stolen so I feel your pain. And what a sweet bike your Gazelle is.
