Hey George, I've had a wheel stolen from the same place. I know it's a longshot but it's worth checking out. There is an encampment on Santa Monica blvd. and Lodi Place a block from Gower. The last time I went by they had a gang of bikes they were "working on". Good luck.
P.S. if you lock your bike up at this location do not use the parking garage! Put it as close to the front door as possible.

Someone mentioned the encampment near there. I chased a guy who stole a tire off my bike back to that camp. Turns out there are a few people living there who scout the area all day and sell their tires for $25-50 each.
I paid the guy $5 to get mine back, it's pretty sad the way they're living there, but it doesn't make it right to steal. Ever since I gave that guy $5 he waves to mee when I see him and I give him $1. He's a really tall black guy, real nice, and he's a jamming organ player, but sadly also a crack addict. Be careful trying to get anything back, but if you look in the right place I think you'll find it.
