Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Mountain Bike
Size:
I'm a 5'6" girl, it was a tad big for me...?
Color:
Black
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
It was in good shape... front stem area between handlebars was faded a bit from sun, a couple of small knicks on the top tube, has a Specialized seat and Shimano clip in pedals, and I had broken off parts (there were pointy broken edges) of the plastic circle thing that goes on the real wheel hub to protect the spokes from the derailleur (or I think that's what it is for ;-) I think the bike is either a 2003 or 2004 model, still super shiny like new. It also had a dealer sticker/badge thingy that said "Barr Bicycle" and Des Moines, Iowa on the downtube at the bottom.

Incident Description:
At about 7:45am I parked and locked my bike at the St. Clair entrance to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, on the first rack just to the right of the revolving door entrance, and right in front of the big windows. I use two cable locks that require a normal flat key to open, one was around the frame and the front wheel and the bike rack, the other was just from the frame to the bike rack bar. I walked a block to Dunkin Donuts to get coffee, on my way back and walking in the front revolving doors of Galter Pavilion I glanced look at the bike randomly and noticed it was gone and proceeded to run around the area looking. That was 10 minutes later, around 7:55 am but no later than 8am. Not one person in the area saw a thing, so the thief must've been watching me park it to begin with. There are lots of nice bikes in the area that were locked must like mine in less obvious spots, but mine is shiny I guess. Right by the front doors and where the cabs stop!!!!
