Stolen Tall Bike

My tall-bike was stolen (or possibly removed byt he city). If you see it please call 224-628-3789 and let me know where you saw it and, if possible, put a lock on it. It has full fenders, full length seat stays and is much nicer then your average tall-bike making it easily identifiable as mine. Rear wheel a functional SA 3-spd hub laced to a CR18 rim in the back.

I know a lot of people consider tall bikes junk but this is my primary bike and I miss it greatly.

As much as I love the rest of the bike I really want that damn wheel back!

Oops, sorry! I saw the listing but totally missed that it was a tall bike.
I always see one parked at . . . Leavitt and something; maybe a bar at Leavitt and Chicago? Was that yours?
I wouldn't be so sure that it will be sold for scrap metal. I know some Junkeros and when they get something that has value beyond the metal they try to sell it around their 'hood for more than they'd get for scrap-- and since the economy tanked the price of metal has gone way way down.
Have you thought about a trip to the scrap yard near Elston/Division next Monday morning?

Actually I did list it on the stolen bike registry...

It was at Leavitt and Augusta but as I said above it's all a moot point because it was spotted in a scrap truck so it's a pretty likely it is gone forever.

Doug's a pretty sharp cookie.
I'm guessing there's some sort of strategizing behind not giving any more info than what's here and not listing it on the stolen bike registry.
