Got it back! Can't believe it. Thanks to the awesome network of cyclists in Chicago.<br />
It causes me physical pain to admit that in my haste to catch a train I must have missed the rack when locking up. That also makes it doubly unbelievable that it's been recovered.<br />
At least that's a mistake I'm unlikely to make again!

<p>Yup, that's pretty clearly what happened. And actually there's nothing in the victim's report to suggest otherwise, except for the usual ignoring of the help text for the lock type selection field.</p>

<p>Damn.... I guess was in a fog when the report came in and knew there was something about it I had cued myself to remember at some point . . . . but couldn't remember what. Thought briefly this was a bike we'd recovered before. I even searched the registry for it, thinking Iit had been listed before. Great work, Justin!</p>
