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.
