I was unfortunately very drunk and fell off my bike late on Sunday night, I think somewhere on Milwaukee headed north towards Armitage. When I fell I stupidly left my bike on the sidewalk unlocked and walked home. In the morning it was obviously nowhere to be seen as it was an easy snag for someone. I was acting stupid and put my own bike in danger but I love my bike and it's custom made and this was a huge mistake. I'm just trying anything I can to get it back. Thanks for your time.

He went and picked it up and took it to the 17th district for our pick-up.  He said the pawn shops are supposed to have a 30 day waiting period so this process can take place. Ironically (or maybe not),  my husband went to the same pawn shop the day prior and they denied having it.  We are very happy! Thanks!"] Bike stolen from detached garage.
