Kenneth Robertson was arrested again (1/11/12)...
and charged with Felony Bike Theft. Press Release is below. This should make it much more difficult to beat the two prior felony bike theft counts which were brought against him in July. We love the Wilmette police department.

May as well pile on the good news, as this never hit thechainlink:
"
In response to previously reported bicycle
thefts, UIC Police were
conducting surveillance of the bicycle racks of
the Student Recreation
Facility at 737 S. Halsted. During one of these
previous thefts,
surveillance cameras had captured the image of a
suspect taking a
bicycle and leaving the bicycle he rode to the
scene locked to the rack.
During the ongoing surveillance, on the
afternoon of January 9 UIC
Police observed a suspect matching the
description of the offender
approach the rack and unlock the bicycle that
was left behind during the
earlier theft. The suspect was arrested and
found to be carrying
burglary tools. He has been charged with felony
theft of the student’s
bicycle, felony possession of burglary tools,
and obstruction of
identification.

Excellent sleuthing, Kevin! Are you calling those three in to Detective Girard? Or contacting the owners to make their own contacts with the Wilmette Police?

It's hard to operate a bolt-cutter or even an angle-grinder with one hand cut off.
If that still doesn't work then cut off the other one.

If you have a moment to spare, leave a comment as a concerned citizen on these web news pages. It might be nice for some of us to heap a little praise toward the Wilmette Police for taking this seriously enough to stake out, and the state's attorney for bothering to prosecute bike theft (for a change!).
