Incident Description:
[ On 7/28/24, the victim notified us that the bike had been recovered: "I posted today about a stolen 2018 LIV Avail. I just wanted to update you guys and say we recovered the bike in under 24 hours somehow.
The person who stole the bike, sold it to someone on the street. That person posted it on Facebook marketplace to find the owner because he knew it was stolen, and we were able to pick it up!
Thanks for this resource though. We had a few people reach out who helped us use multiple channels to find the bike!"]
At approximately 10:45pm outside of Remedy on Milwaukee Ave, a white male about 50 years old wearing blue shorts, a black backpack, a blue IKEA type bag, and a black hat, used bolt cutters to cut the lock on our bikes. He stole the 2018 Black LIV Avail and then took off northbound on Milwaukee Ave heading towards Western Ave. The bar has video of the entire event and clear still images of the thief. Will provide serial number if found.
