Incident Description:
Yes, two of my bikes were stolen within a couple of days of each other!! But this one was special. I'd saved for 5 years to buy a Gary Fisher. The most unique element is the pirate flag sticker and the Chicago flag sticker. I don't know how anyone got it, since the back stairway is enclosed, and the door on the ground floor has two deadbolts which lock from the inside automatically. I had it locked with 2 Kryptonite u-locks, one through the front wheel & frame, the other through the rear wheel & frame. No sign of the locks, the railing wasn't broken, no sign of tampering on the deadbolts on the ground floor. The door also swings shut and is very heavy steel or something. If anyone finds it, I would really appreciate it. Like I said, I don't make a lot of money, and I saved for years to be able to buy a Gary Fisher. Thanks!
