This morning my Raleigh Sojourn was stolen off of our porch. I've only had it two weeks- barely broken it in yet!
It was U-locked to our porch- the thieves broke the rail, so the lock was still attached when it disappeared.
I had to carry stuff that wouldn't fit on the bike, and they did it apparently right after I caught the bus

The bike is mostly stock: Khaki frame with Brooks Saddle and bar tape, bar end shifters, Disc Brakes and rear rack....

Not stock: Adjustable stem, Serfas Head and Tail-lights and a White Cateye computer.

We registered it with the City of Chicago just a few days ago. If anyone knows anything, please pass it along.

I miss my bike.

That really sucks! I've had two bikes stolen in Chicago, and will never leave a bike locked up outside overnight again.

I'll keep my eyes peeled on Craigslist. You might want to hit some of the markets (Maxwell Street, etc.) to see if it's there.

Maxwell's today- I should probably go. Thanks for the reminder
