The bike is back!
On our return from vacation, there was a card in our mailbox saying that our lost bicycle has been seized because it was parked in a prohibited area.
Usually it costs ¥5000 (in Nakano-ku) to retrieve a seized bike, but we were lucky...
According to the police's data, the bike was seized the day after I had reported it as stolen, and it had still its lock on when Tomoko went to pick it up. Which makes me believe that it had been moved by someone, perhaps because it was in the way or something, where I wasn't able to find it.
Because I had reported the bike as stolen before it was seized, we were able to get it back for free.
What sucks is that it took a month and a half before they let us know that they took the bike, and we were sure it was not to be found and bought a new one.
The good news is that we had been thinking of getting a second bike anyway so we could ride together, so this situation just forced us to get this done.
