Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Bike is in near-new condition (approx. 300 miles on it). Currently has small white SPD clip pedals on it. It was stolen with a front light and red rear blinker, as well as attached saddlebag, but I can't expect those will stay on the bike. It has Armadillo tires, not the stock tires.

36 hours
Incident Description:
The bike was locked to a wooden fence on the second floor of 809 W. Bradley, just off of Halsted, in the rear of the building. The back parking lot has a gate-secured entry, which can apparently be easily bypassed. The thief took apart the section of the fence/railing to remove the bike; until he manages to cut off the lock, it will still be attached to the bike (ABUS security chain with keyed access). The roommate of the friend who lives there tells me it was still there when he got home at about noon today, and it was gone at 4:00 pm. I do not have a photo of this bike, but it appears essentially the exact same as stock photos (plus the add-ons I described).
