What happened

I'm going to view cctv footage of the theft tomorrow morning when the security supervisor for the building shows up. Maybe I'll get back to you then.

Recovery notes

Writes Tom on 5_9_08: The footage was not usable to identify the thieves, but the bike was recovered today at 79th and Stony. Someone saw the ad I posted on Craigslist, recognized the bike, and confronted the guy riding it. The rider immediately gave it up.
