Incident Description: 
I was biking to school and my front wheel flew off. I was knocked unconscious and taken to the hospital. Once I regained consciousness I was told my bike was locked up. Upon arriving to North Avenue Beach 3 hours later I was informed by some local security who were there when I fell that my bike was taken by some lady Daisy who works for the Park District Security who said she'd keep my bike safe till I came back. The number she provided was bogus and after calling 10 different departments nobody knows a lady Daisy. I filed a police report, but I'm trying to not give up hope. [On 2/10/24, the victim contacted us to report that the bike had been returned. "I recovered the bike about 2-3 months after the incident. It ended up actually being taken by a city worker and I managed to track her down, she thought I was dead after not hearing from me for months lol. Turns out the number that was left in my wallet was correct, but the line was down when I had first attempted contact. Once I finally reached her, we met up near the LP zoo and I got the bike back! It was locked up in a park district storage facility near there.  Keep up the good fight of helping folks track and recover!"]
