Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
It's a Schwinn Crisscross.
Good condition, just tuned the brakes, it was used when I bought it, but the thing was riding really smoothly. I replaced the tires with road tread, there are some scratches on the handle bar center, from when I flipped it. It's missing the reflector in the front wheel, and there is a chip out of the rear tire's plastic hub near the middle of the tire where all the spokes meet. The handle grips are a light blue, with one of them installed backwards.
There was a working bike's logo on there, but I don't know if thieves remove those stickers. There was also a small light on the seat post that ran out of batteries.

Incident Description:
The bike in photo is of the model and color of my bike, not my actual bike; my bike does not have fenders and it had blue handle grips.
I usually leave my bike in a covered stairwell on my 3rd floor apartment, you cannot really see where it is looking at our apartment. My roommate's bike was also stolen at the same time, a silver Trek 3800. As night hit, my third roommate returned home and noticed our bikes were gone.
