Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Cruiser / Comfort Bike
Size:
26" wheels women's frame
Color:
Purple and Tan
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
This was a project bike of mine that I had locked up outside my house at Hoyne & Armitage. The rear fender was done up with ~30 LEDs that lit up at night. The bike can be otherwise distinguished by the Panasonic branded saddle, single front brake, and 7 speed shifter. The bike has slightly dirty white wall old-school tires and if you can spot it, a brand new SRAM chain.
Jerks also took my very nice Kryptonite cable. I don't expect to get that back... I hope they enjoy it.

Incident Description:
I believe that sometime during the day someone cut my lock (not a fantastic lock) and removed the kyrptonite cable and bike from behind my apartment's wrought iron fence. It's strange because the lock and everything was behind the fence so the person would likely have had to go down into my front porch area to cut the lock. It seems like passerby would have noticed this especially since my apartment is next to two very busy businesses: Starbucks and The Map Room.
