Incident Description:
Stolen from behind my apartment building. Lock was clipped (I hadn't used my Ulock, just a cable). The bike frame's brand and front plate icon is extremely distinctive -- I've never seen another one like it, so I'm hoping there's a chance slightly higher than a snowball's in hell that i can track it down!
