Cruiser / Comfort Bike

Copper
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
The price, "$60," is written in the middle of the front handlebars. The back fender is unattached at the bottom, so it rattles incessantly. That's why I thought no one would want it.

Incident Description:
I was in my apartment having lunch, and my Vista Cavalier was locked to a telephone pole out front. I came out and it was gone. It's worth nothing--well, that is to say, I paid $60 for it, as is plainly visible because the price is written in marker on the handlebars, but it's gone through a cross-country move and is now DEFINITELY worth nothing.
