Intruder broke into back door of sister high-rise building. Door man chased him through underground parking garage. Intruder ran up stairs from garage into the building, entered the bike storage room, grabbed the bike, and fled through doors that lead from room to outside. Those doors are locked on the outside. [On July 4, 2026 victim reported that the bike had been recovered: "I am happy to report that, almost a year to the day of the theft, I have recovered this bicycle. I would not have recovered it had I not reported the theft on your website.  Late on June 29, I received a text from someone who told me that my bike was listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace.  Two other people texted me the next day informing me of the same. All three people saw the listing on Facebook. The seller included a photo of the serial number of the bike in the listing and the people who contacted me apparently googled the serial number and found the listing on Stolenbike.org.  She included the serial number because she didn’t know much about the bicycle and suggested potential buyers check the serial number on Trek’s website to learn more about the bike.  The seller did not steal my bike. (I really doubt any person who stole a bike would include the serial number on a sales listing.) Whoever stole it abandoned it not far from my residence.  A relative of the seller apparently came upon the abandoned bike and took it.  At some point he moved to Janesville, WI and moved in with the seller. He took the bike with him. The bike has been in this person’s garage for the better part of a year. He moved out and his relative decided to sell the bike. She returned the bicycle to me once I established to her that the bicycle was my stolen bike and she verified with her relative that he had found it abandoned in Chicago. Yesterday I drove to Janesville and picked up the bike.  The person who tried to sell the bike was very gracious. I am very appreciate to you for running this website, the three people who contacted me, and the lady in Janesville who had the bike and returned it to me upon realizing it was mine. As for the bike, it’s in good shape. There are a few light scratches on the top tube and the brakes are squeaky but otherwise the bike works great.  The tires were flat from disuse but I filled them last night and they hold air just fine."]
