Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Size:
Normal / average size
Color:
Black
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
This is a single forked front-wheel design from 2012. There was a white gel strap flasher light on the front, and a red gel strap flashing brake light on the back. It had disc brakes that would give an audible squeak when coming to a sudden stop. Occasionally the front tire will get a repetitive squeak when normally riding or turning the wheel. There is no kick stand. The photo supplied is a stock photo of the bike, I sadly cannot find any photos of me on it at this time but it was like new other than the squeaking.

Incident Description:
The bike was in my locked garage and a thief kicked open the locked door, defeating the deadbolt. The alarm went off and woke me up. The thief opened the garage door and and apparently road off on the bike. I can't tell if I was just an unlucky victim or if this was a planned and timed burglary. Nothing else was stolen, including my girlfriend's cruising bike which was parked next to it.
