Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
It was reconditioned, so in practically new shape, but an older bike. Its most distinguishing feature was that it was a very tall bike. I don't know the wheel/frame size, but I'm almost 6'5" and it was not easy for me to get on.

Incident Description:
The bike was in the middle of my back yard. We have security lights, and dogs (who were probably inside the house at the time). The thief removed the clip on the gate, unlatched it, stole the bike and closed and re-latched the gate. The last time I saw it was Sunday evening (7/10) and I noticed it missing on 7/13 at 7 am. It may have been metal scrappers or kids.
