Incident Description: 
It was parked directly in front of the IIT Kent Law School on W. Adams Street downtown. This is a high-traffic area which made it unusual that thieves are so brazen to steal it in broad daylight. There are always plenty of bikes parked there, however thinking back, mine had the weakest lock. The bicycle was also probably targeted as it is an electric bike. However, the battery and charging system was in with me in my office at the time of theft.

Incident Description: 
I was biking to school and my front wheel flew off. I was knocked unconscious and taken to the hospital. Once I regained consciousness I was told my bike was locked up. Upon arriving to North Avenue Beach 3 hours later I was informed by some local security who were there when I fell that my bike was taken by some lady Daisy who works for the Park District Security who said she'd keep my bike safe till I came back. The number she provided was bogus and after calling 10 different departments nobody knows a lady Daisy. I filed a police report, but I'm trying to not give up hope. [On 2/10/24, the victim contacted us to report that the bike had been returned. "I recovered the bike about 2-3 months after the incident. It ended up actually being taken by a city worker and I managed to track her down, she thought I was dead after not hearing from me for months lol. Turns out the number that was left in my wallet was correct, but the line was down when I had first attempted contact. Once I finally reached her, we met up near the LP zoo and I got the bike back! It was locked up in a park district storage facility near there.  Keep up the good fight of helping folks track and recover!"]
