"I was at a District Advisory Committee meeting earlier this week at the 19th Police District (formerly the 23rd District -- at Addison and Halsted), and Commander John Kenny announced that officers recently recovered more than 3 large storage units full of stolen items, primarily stolen bikes and high-end strollers. The storage units also contained many unopened FedEx and UPS packages, presumably taken from the front steps of buildings.
If you have had a bike or stroller stolen, or never received a package from FedEx/UPS that you were expecting, you may want to get to the police station this week. The officers will have a room open with the recovered items and are hoping people can claim what is theirs. The police department room will be open this coming week, Monday 3/26- Friday 3/30 from 8am-5pm, and on Saturday 3/31 from 8am-12noon. Happy Hunting!"
UU Note: You can read about the raid on the home and storage lockers here, where, in addition to the loot, police found garage door openers labeled with addresses. The accused is a fence and cyber-stalker of cops. Not a good guy.
I would hope with the FedEx packages that they could get in touch with the recipient or at least get FedEx involved again. Unless I'm missing something...
ReplyDeleteI agree with the comment about FedeX Packages. The police have the serial number of my bicycle, shouldn't they contact me? I assume they input serial numbers into their system to try to reunite bicycles with their owners. No? If not, why not?
