Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Other (describe in detail below)
Size: 
56cm
Color: 
Baby blue
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
Built from parts this Summer. This bike is unique. The frame has top tube cable routing with the front derailleur cable running through a pulley for a bottom pull derailleur. the wheels and drive train components are not particularly nice but the 35c tires are michelen with the reflective strip so they are visible. the levers were new Tektro aero levers AND top bar interruptor levers so 4 brake levers. But the suntour command "butterfly" shifters are very unique and somewhat rare so I am hoping they raise a red flag for somebody.

How long was the bike locked in this location?: 
Was not locked. Parked at the bottom of loading dock while working in the shop. About 7 hours total.
Incident Description: 
Bike was parked at the bottom of the loading dock in the shop where I working alone on a small project, I'd taken it out of the uhaul truck it had been tranported in to unload materials and leaned it against the dock wall. I then proceeded to work on my project, not perceiving the bike to be in any immediate danger since it was inside the shop. However I kept the garage door open because the day was nice, but because I was working on a personal I stayed a little later and did not think to close the door as it grew dark. The thief saw the unlocked bike at the bottom of the dock and seized his opportunity to take it. Probably while I was running a table saw. He also stole a set of husky string cage lights brand new in the box out of the truck, which he saw after getting to the bike at the end of the dock.
