Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Size:
small women's bike
Color:
yellow & orange
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
My bike has a fairly distinct frame as it is bright orange and yellow - hard to miss. It has dumb early 2000s stickers on the frame that read "Hottie" & "Angel Crossing." My water bottle holder is also orange, but the metal is cracked. The handlebars, tires, seat, and pedals are all black and the right handlebar wrap is falling off so its hack-job tied together. There is a maintenance pouch under my seat. Otherwise, my bike is in good condition - only 4 years old and I maintain it regularly.

Its the courtyard of my building so its where I lock it whenever I home so the last 9 months give or take.
Incident Description:
I don't know exactly when it was stolen, but I noticed it was gone the morning of the new year. My bike was locked to the railing of my backdoor stairs in my building's locked courtyard. It appears that someone busted the wood railing piece that my bike was locked to and pulled my bike up the post. There is a loose piece of wood with nails in it nearby that has been carved to a point - unsure if it's related. Also, there is black animal fur wear it was parked - again not sure that's related, but unusual detail for sure.
