Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Cruiser / Comfort Bike
Serial No.: 
n/a
Size: 
standard
Color: 
black
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
I *just* had work done (at Boulevard Bikes) on the rear fender bridge, so that will have some tightening/welding marks on it. Also: recently replaced pads (which look brand new). My U-lock was secured to the frame when it was stolen, so even if the U-lock is discarded, there will still be the clasp that holds the U-lock in place, secured onto the frame under the seat. There is a decal on the back fender that is worn almost off and illegible, but the traditional Dunelt saying, "Ride awheel on Sheffield Steel," is perfectly legible, in golden/yellow painted font, along the frame. I adore this bike and have seen very few others in Chicago, so I am hopeful that its rarity will help it stick out in a crowd and, ultimately (hopefully), recovered. ANOTHER NOTE: The U-lock was clasped onto

Incident Description: 
NOTE: photo above is NOT MY BIKE; however it is exact same model. FOR REFERENCE ONLY. Bike was stolen from locked garage overnight, between the hours of 9pm on 5/13/10 and 9am on 5/14/10. The garage was locked with garage-door closed, but when I came out to the garage in the morning, the garage door was wide open and the bike was missing (nothing else was missing from garage, including a second bike, which was locked to itself). The garage door may have been pried open, or opened due to an electronic malfunction.
