Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Size:
54cm
Color:
Yellow with Black electrical tape and handlbars
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Bicycle had a rusty chain. Tires were a bit out of alignment because of some rough use lately. Other than that it was used but in good condition. The frame was Dawes and there is a little metallic emblem on the front with Dawes imprinted on it. The previous owner had wrapped electrical tape over the mid section of all the frame bars (see photo). Tires were Black Maxxis. The handle wraps were black and beginning to fray just a little. There were no lights or accessories because I took those inside the building with me.

Incident Description:
I was working and had taken my bike in. I wasn't going to be long so I parked the bike outside to the rack and I made a point to come down every hour or so to check on it. Just as I was coming down to take off for the day I exited the Towers Productions building and turned right and my bike was gone. There was no indication that it had even been there. Security cameras only have a line of sight right in front of the main door to the building and down the alleyway, both of which do not grant access to the bike area.
