Sorry to hear about your stolen bike.  You've already taken a couple of good steps:

And beyond listing the bike on the Chicago Stolen Bike Registry, you've already filed a police report.  That's good.

You can check with your homeowner's insurance to see if they'll cover your loss.

Drop by the Swap-o-Rama, 4100 S Ashland and take a look around for your bike.

Set up Google alerts for your bike in case it shows up on Craigslist or EBay.

Keep an eye on various Facebook groups like "Chicago Bike Selling" or "Chicago Bike Sellers." 

While I wouldn't hold my breath that your bike will get returned--it's unfortunately the rare stolen bike that gets recovered--you can look over the tales of people that DID get their bikes back, for ideas or consolation:    http://chicago.stolenbike.org/recovered

Good luck.  Bike thieves are scum.
