Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Folding / Compact Bike
Serial No.: 
BS6102
Size: 
small when folded, slim when riding
Color: 
green
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
The bike is at least 7 years old. There is some wear on the frame but it is solid. There is a weathered Brompton sticker on the tube between your legs. It has a new rubber stopper for folding and a light clamp over duct tape on the handlebar. Since it is a Brompton I highly doubt the thief will be competent in folding it. The bike is in excellent shape and never breaks. It is definitely a different looking bike.

The bike was inside my garage and stolen in the span of 30 minutes while the garage door was left open by my wife. I suspect the pickup trucks that regularly scour the backstreets for trash they can cash, but I have no evidence.
