Stolen Bike Registry - do this when your bike gets stolen

"With all the stolen bike posts lately (and no one thinking "I wonder if there's something under Useful Links for this."), I think it's well past time to make a sticky about the Stolen Bike Registry"

 - Tank-Ridin' Ryan

 

Well said Ryan.

Done and done.

 

And sticky too.

Hello everybody, my beloved Mercier Aquila Euro was stolen from me on April 9th. It's the exact same bicycle in the picture only it has a maroon-to-orange fade paint job. It has toe clips and a "Working Bikes" sticker on the seat tube. Was stolen around Kedzie and Foster

Also a good news story to report. My bike was located at a pawn shop on west Fullerton. I was able to retrieve it with no problems. Happy that there are actually some good-news stories on this thread!
