Color: 
VIVID CORAL
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
Great condition, have used it throughout the 4 years I've had it pretty gently. I bought in Nashville, it DID have a "Bike East Nashville" bell, but the thief took it off. I have never seen another vivid coral Specialized bike in the wild, so it is VERY distinguishable. The thief tried to sell it on marketplace, but they pulled the listing saying their roommate wanted it. Here is the pulled listing: https://www.facebook.com/share/HEPh1CBxwmMgcAMj/?mibextid=kL3p88 Although cut off, the serial number matches-- they must have registered it within the past two days. I have the receipt and police report (June 26th) to prove it.

I was visiting some friends who live in this building, left my bike unlocked in a locked entrance vestibule. The unit is tucked away, so I figured I would be safe for an hour and some change. I come back, and the bike is gone. Walking down the street, I find my bike bag strewn across the sidewalk. They were heading south. I filed a police report that night. They listed the bike around 8pm on Friday, June 28th. I was in contact with the lister until they abruptly pulled the listing from FB marketplace, claiming that their roommate actually wants the bike. This is where they listed for pickup: 3709 N Sheffield They claim to be named Zoe Jewell on Facebook.
