Road Bike

Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Overall the bike is in pretty good condition (I love my bike and took good care of it!). There are a few scratches and nick on the down tube from a lock. The chain has one gold link in it and was recently changed (but does not shift correctly/smoothly now). There are two mismatched water bottle holders with one blue water bottle on the bike when it was stolen. On the left handle bar there is a Cat Eye computer. The pedals are LOOK and have been worn down a bit. The tape on the left handle bar is loose and there is a scuff on the right handle bar from a fall. Also, there is a black pouch on the back with tools and a tube / tire repair kit inside. Please help find my pretty pink bike!

Incident Description:
I was in a hurry and used my cable/combination lock to lock my bike (front wheel and frame) to a light pole outside my friend’s house. It was parked in the front on Webster pretty close to their door near a street corner (in a relatively busy, safe area). About an hour later my boyfriend arrived and discovered my bike was missing. The thief had cut my lock, left it and my helmet (still attached to lock) by the light pole. We ran outside immediately, a few people checked around the apartment building and down the street but found nothing. It appears there is a video camera on the building directly across from where my bike was at 357 Webster. We are currently still trying to locate the property manager and get the video. It would be amazing if it is located! It was my main mode of transportation, I feel lost without it.
