Our locked garage (in Ukrainian Village) was broken into and my commuter bike, a Felt Brougham single speed, was stolen. I didn't have the bike secured inside the locked garage, only hanging the wall at the front of the garage. I have taken steps to secure and lock our other bikes (which the thief/thieves gratefully left behind). It appears that entry was gained by accessing the emergency release on the overhead garage door.
Would be great if I were able to tell a story about a reunion between me and my stolen bike. I rebuilt this one from the frame up and I miss it like a missing appendage. It's a 61 cm frame, so anyone less than 6 foot tall is going to have a hard time enjoying the ride.
I have filed a police report, posted details to chicago.stolenbike.org and have emailed and/or stopped into my local bike shops.
