"With all the stolen bike posts lately (and no one thinking "I wonder if there's something under Useful Links for this."), I think it's well past time to make a sticky about the Stolen Bike Registry"
- Tank-Ridin' Ryan
Well said Ryan.

Done and done.
And sticky too.

Seeing as how I asked Lee to create this thread to alert people to the Stolen Bike Registry, I really hope you've submitted a report there.
Marty A. said:Shit damn fuck. We had our first bike stolen today less than 30 min. after returning from BTD; and it was stolen from our garage. It is a Dolce Elite, white with clipless pedals, black seat and black bar tape (non standard)
Not to sound dumb, but what are the details on Maxwell Street Market? I have *heard* a bit about it. . . . but know no real information. Is it on tomorrow? Today?

Just trying to help.
Could I have done more when I saw them being dodgy - sure but as I said I was with my wife and two two year olds - we are talking bikes here not worth risking any injury, especially not to a two year old. I do not have a cell phone and was not carrying a camera - so no photos. I can do a quick sketch if you like!!?
Just wanted to say of you are locking up around Irving Park and the Blue line there have been a few thefts - keep it in mind.

Sad that this is a common occurrence but I can imagine with the economic climate + popularity of biking it will only get worse. Thank you for the link and a place to put information in case of a theft.
Is the site on the honour system? i.e. I post the bike & serial # in hopes that a vigilant individual or Police Officer finds it?
