I say this in all seriousness. Call 311 and ask them. I have found 311 to be amazingly helpful.

So that bicycle thief is four blocks from my apartment. A friend had a bike stolen in front of my place and I had my bike stolen on Damen on Division. I filed a police report, but does anyone know if there's a way to see claimed stolen bikes from police and identify them as yours?
