I went to the Swap-O-Rama yesterday morning but didn't see it. I had been checking Craigslist continuously, and around noon yesterday, a little less than 48 hours since it had been stolen, it posted in Humboldt Park. I texted the guy posing as a buyer, called the police and they accompanied me to the pick-up in Lincoln Park. Thank you so much for your help!"
