Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Fixed Gear / Track Bike
Size:
I forget the exact size. I'm 6'4 and the seatpost was pretty high up.
Color:
Gunmetal/Gold/Brown Leather
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
This is my daily commuter bike so it wasn't all shiny and newlooking. I had put a machined and nonmachined golden Velocity wheelset on it. The handlebars were bull-horn style, with brown leather bar wraps. I used a brown Brooks saddle that had been weathered over the years. Across the frame I had affixed sticker letters that spell out "DEATH FROM ABOVE" and I had a thin plastic wrap to protect the top frame when locking up. I used to have eggbeaters but I put the original stock pedals in.

Incident Description:
We just moved in and are still organizing things in the apartment where I intended to keep it. I had left my bike in the garage thinking it'd be safe to keep for a day or two. I just fell off it the day prior since some dude didn't see me while he was turning, so I walked to the Metra stop today instead of biking. I think it was still in the garage as of at least 7am today since my girlfriend remembers seeing it when she drove off. This probably isn't making the most sense but I'm pretty frantic right now and I think you get the gist. What probably happened is someone left the garage door open and saw it there prime for the picking. Filling out police report first thing tomorrow morning.
