BIKE STOLEN from Joong Boo parking lot (3333 N Kimball)
A guy driving a silver Toyota family wagon made a sudden turn in traffic, got out and stole my locked road bike from outside Joong Boo Market (3333 N Kimball) at 3:45PM today. Bike was locked with a kyptonite u-lock through the wheel and frame. I was inside for 5 minutes. Guy cut the lock using a cordless grinder inside a cross body bag. exactly like this guy someone reported on here last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/chibike/comments/1lywf9u/comment/p4cg1rl/?context=3
Cut the lock, stole the bike into his car, and drove off in less than a minute. The market’s camera caught this guy in the act and the plate number is visible too. the wind blew his hat off and his face is on the video too. the police showed up and made a report and the case will be assigned to a detective. the officer called back to get the exact price for his report.
in the meanwhile, if anyone sees this bike around the city or listed for sale on FB or craiglist or a local shop, please message me. Ive had this bike for 6 years and have over 30,000 miles. I‘m desperate to get it back.
