Shit Shit where’d it go?
My bike, all locked up
Police station two blocks south
Yet snatched by some bitch
Overnight, locked up in front of Anne’s in South Philly. Called police this morning to leave a report, but since we don’t have a non-emergency police hotline, I’m still waiting for a callback. If you see someone riding this bike, please push him/her into traffic. He/she might survive, since my helmet was also taken.
Description:
- Univega FS750 mountain bike - 24 speed
- Cobalt blue, oversized tube frame mountain bike
- Asphalt tires - angled tread channels rather than the knobby tread found on normal mountain bike tires
- Black crate mounted on rear via black aluminum luggage rack
- Black men’s comfort seat with a slightly peeling surface
- Two water bottle clamps, on top and bottom of lower main bar
- Blue & black saddlebag mounted under seat - the crate is purposely cut in the front to enable access to the saddlebag
- Hook for U-lock mounted on seat - locking bar of U-lock would rest perpendicular to the seat post
- If the tires were to be removed, one hub should have a rubber track on the inside and the other should have a cloth track
- Inside the saddle bag should be an old brass Presta valve converter, likely located in the mesh pocket
Other accessories (may or may not be present)
- Thief
- Bell helmet - blue/black/white with a tiny red triangle on back and black chinstraps
- Handlebar-mounted light
- 3-LED rear light mounted on rope on back of crate
- Green & white nylon rope - clothesline?
- Black unsheathed bungee cord with 4 or 5 or 6 holes for hooks (I don’t remember)
- Thick braided steel cable with loops on either end. Sheathed in clear plastic with orange caps over the loop knots.
- I do not recall if I scraped my name anywhere on the bike. If I did it is probably on the bottom and may be in english or may be my first name in 4 Japanese Katakana characters
