On Friday afternoon someone cut through my U-lock with an angle grinder!
In the middle of the afternoon!!
Right after I got done warning someone about locking up with a cable lock.
BYE BYE bike #2 to Chicago bike thieves. Great way to start the summer.

This ride would start around 7:30 A.M. end around 9:30. So it wouldn't conflict with most rides. Start next week is fine by me. Oh and don't forget to bring cameras. Take pics of obviously stolen shit and post them here. If that's ok.
Better to have someone assigned to be at home by a phone with an internet connection ready to search the Stolen Bike Registry and other online reporting sites and contact the owner if there's a =definite= match.
Not really sure what good a bunch of pictures of "obviously stolen bikes" is going to do anyone, unless your intent is to harass the thieves further underground (in which case you should be aware the swap is open Thursday and Sunday as well).
You guys really need to be there =by= 7:30 A.M.
I agree we need a plan before we get this rolling.

Should we start an event page and start planning from there?
It would be great if we could make this a weekly or biweekly event in attempt to locate stolen bikes.
Saturday is my "graduation" from my internship (the reason I am in this city) and I thought this would prevent me from riding with you guys. But I decided that if I pack on my fancy clothes with me I can ride with you guys and just change at the ceremony!
