Another Stolen Bike...2012 CANNONDALE CADD8 black/white Road bike
I locked it up nice and tight outside Union Station Late saturday night because Metra wouldn't allow me to board with it cause of over crowded train due to Air/Water Show. when i came back for it early tuesday morning, it was gone. no lock, nothing. It had my florecent green aerobe frisbee locked w/it. frisbee had in red ink...my name, cell#, and names of all the dogs in my life. and it read...Chicago's Favorite Dogsitter! The flexible fende had bumper stickers all over it. One read in black/white...FREETHEWEED. I feel numb today! So Sad! I feel like i lost one of my limbs...so incomplete! paid $1200.00 and i still owe $700.00. It did have the wheel locks on it. Please keep and eye/ear out for my bike. No...i never got around to regestering it. I kick myself in the ass! Anyone have an extra bike i can barrow for Critical Mass next week? :(

I think what h was suggesting is, "you should file a report on the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry."

Have you checked with the shop that sold it to you? They might have the serial # on file.

I went yesterday to Kozy's in south Loop. He said he would have to search the hard drive. So i told them that i had it @ home. I was wrong. Going back there in the morning. Thanks J

If you can get the serial number, at home or from Kozy's, get it. It is the single most important piece of identifying information when trying to recover a stolen bike.

That makes sense. I did call 311 right away and of course i had to leave my info...still waiting on a call back. Thanks H! just the fact that so many on here, and facebook have been so suportive, really restores my faith in humanity:)

Carl brings up a good point. Given the quality of your bike, if all you used was your Kryptonite EVO lock (in addition to the skewers), that's not enough -- provided the circumstances in which you left it. Take it as a lesson learned, invest in a Kryptonite New York Lock or better (or two), and try not to leave your bike even overnight someplace like that again.
