Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Road Bike
Size: 
54" or 56" long
Color: 
Matte black
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
As noted, it was a custom made bike, so there aren't any labels or anything. I'd had it for a little over a year, there were light markings and maybe some dried mud on the frame near the back wheel. It has a white saddle, as well as plastic, dark purple, heavy-duty pedals. There is gray duct tape around the brake lever cover, as the covers had tears in them.

Incident Description

1-10 days
Incident Description: 
This happened while me and my brother/roommate were both out of town for 10 days at the beginning of August. I entered the incident date as 8/11 @ 9pm because that's when I returned to my apt. The burglar(s) came in through the first floor window, which leads to a small sitting area that can be climbed onto from the front entrance. He/She/They removed the AC unit and also took my brother's television, which was in the same room as my bicycle. They rifled through my t-shirt drawer, probably looking for money, and left that drawer open before exiting through our front door, leaving it unlocked. They also left the window open when they exited and the AC unit was on the ground of the outdoor sitting/gathering area.
