<p>Disagree. My bike is my commuter vehicle, my #1 source of fun, and a huge part of my identity. If I catch someone stealing it, I will take measures I deem appropriate.

<p>i am pretty sure i saw the aftermath of the accident. (based on the time on the CSBR) there were plenty of Park District people there. i actually though he collided with the Park District minivan. Sorry to hear about the theft. i hope you find your bike. feel shitty that i did not stop. I saw the ambulance pull up and figured they had the situation under control. </p>

<p>Good point, Michael. The young fellow this happened to didn't provide any clarification on just why his wheel came off or how fast he was going when it happened. My outrage is pointed more toward the person who took the bike for safekeeping while the kid was in the hospital and then promptly disappeared, leaving a fake phone number to contact her.</p>

<p>I am sorry this happened and hope you recover your bike. I do not understand how your front wheel "flew" off... Did you file off the lawyer tabs? A quick release lever would have to be really loose to pass these tabs and you would have noticed the front wheel wobble.</p>
