Description

Our last trip down to shady merchandise haven Swap-o-Rama resulted in no recovered stolen bikes, but new intelligence suggests that the brazen traffickers in jacked rides have recently been dumb enough to try selling stuff listed on the Stolen Bike Registry. Another trip to 4100 S. Ashland is clearly required! Shake off that hangover and take a ride south to take another crack at administering justice. You don't need to be a cowboy, just willing to politely point out clear evidence of crime to the fuzz. Spare u-locks and smartphones helpful, not required.

OF NOTE: The main ride will leave from 1125 N. Milwaukee, but anyone wishing to just meet us down there or along the way is of course welcome; this sort of thing is easily worked out.

Comment by Laura on June 4, 2010 at 9:35am: Iggi and I will be driving down there again, with a truck this time, just incase things need transportation to their rightful owners.
see ya guys there!

Comment by Marty A. on June 4, 2010 at 9:22am: I will meet you down there . . .

Comment by Alex on June 4, 2010 at 4:28am: Do you guys need the serial number? if you need it message me, dont feel to safe doing over forum. never know if they check this site. Also I cant make it to the meeting point but I can look stuff up if it is needed

Comment by Dr. Doom on June 4, 2010 at 2:39am: The plan is to take off around 7:30 and be there by 8:15 or so. You can text me at (seven 7 three three 8 three three 11 two).

Have to admit I don't get having someone at home, as at the least I'll have an iPhone and it's actually faster than my desktop at times. Our internet search was fine last time, the problem was that there were no bikes anyone had listed on CSBR or Craigslist there. If anyone wants to volunteer to do that, though, I'll take down their number.

Significant point: The swap meet is worth hitting for more than polite vigilantism, like unusual Mexican spices, bootleg video games, and, if you need them, game cocks.

Comment by Chuck a Muck on June 4, 2010 at 2:21am: Also, what time are you guys gonna be at the Swap? 7:30 or is that the time you start to ride down?

Comment by Chuck a Muck on June 4, 2010 at 2:18am: If I don't drink myself into a stupor tonight I will be there. Look for the Bartlett Ace van...
