Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
I purchased this vintage-y bike from Working Bikes a few years ago, it still has the sticker on it from the shop. It's brown and says "Venture" and "3-Speed" on it. I left it uncovered the last few winters so it is very old and rusted compared to the picture from two summers ago when I bought it. It also has a rusted wire basket attached to the front. It was stolen between 8 AM and 8 PM on July 8, 2014

Incident Description:
Sometime between 8 AM and 8 PM today my bike was stolen from the garage area where I park. I recently started locking my bike next to my parking spot because it was too difficult for me to carry up and down the stairs to my apartment. It was locked in a corner, directly next to where I park my car. I suspect that someone may hang out in that corner over night and there were signs that the bike may have been urinated on (noticed on Saturday).
