Hey Chainlinkers...
my wife and I parked our bikes outside a friend's house in Evanston this afternoon. They were locked to a good sized tree with 2 ulocks and a cable...we came out and they were gone. Please keep you eyes open, they are both pretty identifiable bikes, and any information would be much appreciated. Police reports have been filed and they are going up on the stolen bike registry ASAP. if anyone sees them, please contact Elliot at elliotcbennett@gmail.com

Is there a reason why you can't go there yourself?
Thanks Julie! I wasnt going to justify that question with an answer. I appreciate the defense.
& thank you to everyone who was able to keep eyes out for our bikes.

Awesome news and congratulations. This really makes me feel great about our larger community. I must ask, though, where are you going to park your bikes now?
always nice to have a good ending to a story so often it is not.
What happened to the seller of the bikes?
