Raleigh Capri New Black 1985 Men's 25" Large Frame

What happened

I went into the Loyola "L" candy store, placing my bike behind their propped-open door, where I could see it from the cash register. I turned around to indicate an item on the shelf. When I turned back, the bike was gone. I had just bought it, 4 days earlier. I was mad. I ran out, and saw the thief (small boy, had trouble pedaling, standing on the pedals, frantically trying to get away) halfway down Sheridan to Devon on my bike. I ran into the street (Sheridan, at rush hour) and tried to wave ANYONE down. They all thought I was a maniac. I WAS MAD!! When I finally got a cab, the driver couldn't/wouldn't help me to track down the thief. I don't know which way the kid went after he hit Devon, so it could have been someone from the area by 6500 Bosworth, where another bike had been stolen (I read the reports.) I will forever always be cruising the area, looking for my bike, and I pity the fool I find with anything even RESEMBLING my bike. I got another new one, and have set several traps at the same location, with the cooperation of the storeowner. I WILL FIND YOU!! AND I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW MUCH BLOOD IS IN THE HUMAN BODY. AND HOW MUCH PAIN THAT BODY CAN EXPERIENCE. AND I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I FIND YOU! (Pictures will be available on request.)
