Bike was under a stairwell in an enclosed back yard with high walls and locked gate. Stupidly it wasn't locked but I thought the space was inaccessible. However this bike is probably unique in Chicago so please do keep an eye out. It's black with only the back rack on. http://donkybike.com/specs/ [Admin note 12/6/2019- former victim writes: <<<<A guy contacted me a couple of days ago saying he had just recovered it from the basement of a restaurant in Wicker Park. It had been left there by an old kitchen worker who never returned. Your page had my number so he was able to text me. - very grateful for that. I collected it yesterday. It's a bit dinged up but ridable.>>>> ]
