Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Road Bike
Size: 
19.5-ish
Color: 
mostly black with red highlights
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
Middle bar is scratched up due to the lock hitting it when locking the bike up. The brake pads were replaced and are a salmon color as opposed to the original pads. I switched out the default pedals for black resin platform pedals. Last time I saw it, the bike had black fenders, a Topeak bike rack on the back, a lock holder and lock attached to the side of the bike, and a light and cell phone holder on the handle bars - however, I realize all these things could have been removed.

Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Garage or enclosed parking area.
How long was the bike locked in this location?: 
I always park my bike in my garage when I'm not using it. I think it had been there for a day or two since last use.
Incident Description: 
I don't know exactly when the bike went missing, but it was sometime between the morning of August 27th and the morning of August 28th. I park the bike in the garage and don't bother locking it up because the garage is supposed to stay locked. When I went out to use the bike the evening of the 28th, it just wasn't there anymore. My assumption is that a door got left open or unlocked on accident and somebody nabbed it.
