I wrote about the incident in detail on EveryBlock. My post includes Security Footage Photos of the offender. You can read that high level overview and view photos at this URL: http://chicago.everyblock.com/announcements/jun29-break-near-roscoe-village-stolen-bike-photos-offender-5102800/ Here is the more detailed synapsis of what happened: 4:30 AM roughly my home alarm system chimed to indicate an outside door had been opened. We were sleeping and it woke us up. It stunned us for a few moments while we collected ourselves, then I noticed the keypad stated the Overhead Garage Door was open. Reflexively my girlfriend pushed the garage door button on her keychain remote and started the door closing process. The garage chime went off again and she closed it again while I was on the phone with the alarm company on our porch, which overlooks the garage but can only be accessed from the 2nd floor of our home. Once the police arrived about 20 minutes later, we walked the garage and upon first glance all looked fine... but when we looked a little closer, we noticed that my girlfriends car had been rummaged through and the bike was missing. We filed a police report with the officers. The factory next door has security footage of the alley that the garage door is in. We asked them to see it and at around 4:36 AM an African American male probably early or mid 30's in jean shorts, a light colored button up shirt with short sleeves, and a Chicago Cubs baseball cap with a bent rim, probably around 6 feet tall or maybe shorter, of average build, looking a bit on the stocky side, walks through a neighbors yard, past two bikes that were unlocked on their porch, around the corner, down the alley, and then directly to my garage. At about 4:39 AM you can see him sneaking past the fence with my bike in the video. This is likely the same time I am making noise on our porch with the alarm company on the phone, right after the garage chimed the second time. A few seconds later the footage shows him unwrapping my unlocked wire-and-key integrated bike lock and toss it into the alley as he walks away casually with my bike. A few mysteries: How did he open an overhead garage door so fast? He did not have any equipment with him. The garage door is like 9 feet high, he could not have wedged/hooked the emergency release... He somehow knew the keypad code or had a remote or some amazing trick like that. I don't know. Thank you for reading. I realize it is a long shot, but I just want to get the bike back.
