Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
This was a moderately used cyclocross bike, however I have road tires on it. There is a D.P. (my intitials) scratched under the seat on the down tube. It also has arctic camo grip tape (kind of dirty though), Crank Bro's Egg Beater pedals, an unmatching black and white Fuji seat, and the hoods are kind of beat up from me crashing often when racing. I also had one water bottle rack attached at the time it was stolen. The wheels are pretty beat up too which might help distinguish it. The standard Redline paint scheme and the camo griptape/Fuji seat should be dead giveaways. I attached what the frame looks like.

Incident Description:
Locked my bike outside of work to go in and be a contributing member of society around 8 AM, left around 6:10 and saw my Kryptonite lock sawn in half.. just then a police car pulled up and told me someone had called in saying a man with a hand-held circular saw came and stole my red bike... he took my number and business card and rode off south to try and find the guy. When I placed the report the gal on the phone said as of 6:30 I was the 5th bike reported stolen that day within a couple blocks of my building. I was 15 minutes too late, doh!
