Someone just stole my husbands bike today and I am so mad and frustrated. We live in a very small town in CA (about 3 sq. miles) and figure someone walking through the neighborhood (and probably living in it) took it. I hope we run into them one day...

That's such an awful feeling to have something stolen - such a violation. And yeah, you're totally justified in your reaction. My friend just had her bike stolen here in Chicago too, and I sent her a link to your post to comisserate. When I was in high school, my bike and both my parents' were stolen out of our garage in a "safe" suburban neighborhood. Bizarrely, my dad found his bike in a pawn shop two years later by chance. Never saw mine again though, of course. I’m so sorry about your bike. That’s such an awful feeling to have something stolen – such a violation. And yeah, you’re totally justified in your reaction.

Seems so weird.... West Loop.. locked up.. no one saw it.. supposedly. That would have been sad if they left my helmet here, but they took that too. Safety first!

I remember I took the 56 bus home, sitting there with my helmet on my lap. I was so sad. Sorry to hear about your bike, Rachelle.

It was in our yard which is protected by two gates that lock. i thought it was safe there, but now i know it's not! hey, paul.. i think you need to paint your bike pink!

So sorry to hear of your bike loss! I too can relate! Since moving to Chicago 6 years ago, I've had 4 bikes stolen! Each time, they were locked up, either outside of my apartment, or locked to a rack on a busy city street. A fellow bike lover, I know what a crushing loss it is to suddenly not have a fun and easy way to get around on a daily basis. I hope you're able to find a replacement soon! Bummer!
