Found Someone's Bike

I found a bike on lawrence near the post office (between western and rockwell).  Would really like the bike to be returned to owner. Figured I would post here and on craigslist, any other suggestions?

My daughter's mixte was stolen from her HS, not too far from there, some weeks back. It's gold, with black PB fenders. I can supply other info including SN.

It wouldn't happen to be an RBR with mustache bars and gold barcon shifters, would it?

FUCKIN AMAZING!!!

so...to follow up here...was this bike in fact stolen and we have a VERY lucky recovery? Or was it left there accidentally, and an honest person held it for proper claiming?

if it was stolen, how far was it found from where it was stolen?

It was stolen out of my building on Sunday along with another bike which was ALSO found on Sunday. I live like five blocks away from that post office.


Holy crap, I am so happy :)

Just spoke with Mia, it was in fact stolen and presumably abandoned after getting a flat on not having the right shoes for clipless pedals.

Thanks to everyone for keeping this thread alive until Zach saw it.

This is pretty awesome.

Two awesome people had their rad bikes ripped off and in less then 3 days they have both been returned thanks to the Chicago bike community being full of awesome people who look out for one another.

We should all get hugs.

Mia, please report the recoveries to the Chicago Stolen bike Registry.
