RECOVERED - Trek Road Bike

What happened

The bike was parked at 1pm in a haigh-traffic area. Upon return at 5pm, the bike was gone. There was a part of the lock which was left, which spirals in and out that attaches to the frame of the bike. The bike was completely taken other than that. RECOVERY NOTES: On 8/26, former victim sent an email containing the following text. "[J]ust want to know that yesterday I got my bike back. I went to the Swap-O-Rama yesterday morning but didn't see it. I had been checking Craigslist continuously, and around noon yesterday, a little less than 48 hours since it had been stolen, it posted in Humboldt Park. I texted the guy posing as a buyer, called the police and they accompanied me to the pick-up in Lincoln Park. Thank you so much for your help!"
