Recovery notes
I've been unable to get a clear story from the owner, but this bike was recovered with the help of Wilmette and Skokie police who caught someone who had been targeting bikes locked at Metra stations (there were a few news stories about this). The thief apparently had it listed on eBay.- Ed
