Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Bike is in good condition - a few scratches on the top tube and down tube from being locked up. I changed the handlebars to red bullhorns - no tape, just painted metal (I believe they were aluminum, but I'm not sure). Also, the pedals are red (same color as the handlebars) and chrome. Other than that, all of the specs on the bike were original: white chain and rims, Shimano cranks & cog, chrome headset, white Specialiazed saddle.

Incident Description:
I locked the bike in front of Andersonville Wine & Liquors, because it is the closest place to my house to lock that isn't a tree. I liked the bike with a Kryptonite U-Lock through the front wheel & the frame. I locked it to a no parking sign around 10pm, and I had locked it here several times previously. When I came back around 8am the next morning, the bike had vanished. There was no obvious damage to the pole, and no sign of my lock or bike.
