On February 5, 2014, the CSBR received the following email from the former victim: CHICAGO STOLEN BIKE REGISTRY…YOU ROCK!!!!! Successful recovery of KHS Bike which was stolen January 16th. Thanks to EB, who lives in our neighborhood, for keeping a vigilant eye out for stolen bikes listed in our area. She boldly shared how her friend makes fun of her for always watching the stolen bike registry. She’s constantly familiarizing herself with the articles posted online about bike recovery and protection. EB was out walking her dog one night, and noticed a blue KHS men’s bike parked in a bike rack – she remembered seeing our report posted on the registry – especially noting that it was the same type of bike that she has. She said she thought to herself, “That is too nice of a bike to be out here unattended in this weather and locked with such a flimsy cable lock.” She double-checked the Chicago registry and decided to email us today; within moments, we received her correspondence and were meeting her face-to-face at the location of the bike [admin note- bike was found locked outside of World Gym, 909 W. Montrose.] We checked our records of our serial number against those etched on the bike. Two police officers, some mega wire cutters and 4 firemen later…we now have our bike in our possession, again! We are truly grateful for her care and concern! I had never heard of the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry until the bike was stolen. I begin researching what measures I could take to try and recover the bike. Thank God for this resource and the support of the Chicago bike community. EB said she lived in New York and would never have a bike there for concerns of rampant theft; however, upon moving to Chicago and learning all about the CSBR and its biking community, she now enjoys riding her bike here. Needless to say, EB is coming to our home for dinner! Thanks all!
