It's on the Chicago Bike and Parts Swap FB group and suspiciously cheap so if you're missing one check there.

OK, we know that "Hugo Maldonado" was selling it.... now what?
ill just hope that one day it will return to me, for now ill just focus on moving on and no letting this make me stop cycling.
Hugo Maldanado attends Senn High School according to his profile on Facebook.
I would guess he is easily tracked down.
Sadly the in your face action of public posting caused him to take down his post.
Busting High School kids stealing is a fun habit. Just need the right detective...
I agree this thread and all related electronic items be deleted. however - don't public high schools have CPD officers assigned ? this should be a no brainer. make an example out of this thief. shame him to the bitter end in front of all his homies. it should work. good luck.
He won't have the evidence on him. Can't just run up and tackle.
We see a lot of the same people posting about different sales.
1. They trade a lot
2. They're quite loaded and try new parts and sell them cheap after they get tired of it
3. DOH!
Why can't we set up a sting? You know, like follow them and catch them in the act. I mean, it's blatant that some of the same teenagers are always posting "HMU, need it gone ASAP" posts.
Heck, I'm only 3 blocks away from Senn
You could take this to CPD. But it's not hard evidence that it's yours is the issue.
Somethings in life just suck?
If someone here wanted to take the time, and do the leg work, of compiling the fools that post and how often. Showing it's the same people posting, then you bring that to CPD and show a history. CPD needs to show a dollar value on the crimes being committed to make the effort worthwhile.
Can't take a detective for a case that is gonna result in a misdemeanor. Bad use of man power.
A sting is a great idea but we never know when these morons are gonna be in the mood to commit a crime. Also getting time commitments from people to volunteer for a sting has proven difficult.
Once again this is all public and a bit silly.
