They have it listed as “specialized cross trail new” and i’m positive that’s my bike. It is extremely dusty because i just moved. I have melanoma and had a tumor in my leg. It’s hard for me to walk. I can’t afford another $700 bike.

I just moved to the suburbs to get away from crime and i had a surgery to remove a tumor in my right leg. I was using the bike to get to and from work from the train because it hurts to walk long distances. I parked my bike outside my office at 353 N clark. I came out later and every bike that was locked to the bike locks was gone including my specialized. I found multiple people who are selling 20+ bikes on facebook marketplace all post my bike. I messaged them to buy it but they removed it. One of them is still talking to me. I’m trying to go meet them to get it back. I have receipts for the bike. And every accessory still on the bike. Do not bring your bike downtown. If you do take it indoors. The same person who stole it has electric bikes and scooters i recognize all on his facebook for sale. That’s what i get for working hard and trying to get my family a better life. It took me so long to report it and i cannot get in touch with a officer to help me get it back. Expensive bikes like these are easy to prove it’s mine i have all the paperwork. I was goinf to meet them to get it back and they are not answering now.
