<p>Carl brings up a good point. Given the quality of your bike, if all you used was your Kryptonite EVO lock (in addition to the skewers), that's not enough -- provided the circumstances in which you left it. Take it as a lesson learned, invest in a Kryptonite New York Lock or better (or two), and try not to leave your bike even overnight someplace like that again. </p>

<p>Joey,</p>
<p>I'm sorry you have to go to this level of difficulty but you will probably not get a call back, so I would just call again and hope to reach a person as if you had never left your info. Things get easier after about 6 PM, easier again after about 10 PM, and very easy after midnight or 1 A.M. Hope you saw Kevin's recommendation per e-mail-- I concur.</p>

<p>That makes sense. I did call 311 right away and of course i had to leave my info...still waiting on a call back. Thanks H! just the fact that so many on here, and facebook have been so suportive, really restores my faith in humanity:)</p>

<p>That would be a really poor reflection on Kozy's if they didn't have record of a serial number of a recently purchased new bike. </p>
<p>Without serial number you stand at least some chance of police assistance if you should spot it if you can produce a police report number. Best way to report it is via 311. Response times have been better recently but you may need to call late at night to get through.</p>
