Incident Description:
This bike along with an Orange Raleigh Supercourse were stolen from our garage. My neighbor mistakenly left the garage door open. The bikes were stolen sometime between 8:00pm on Tuesday, February 10th and 7:00am on Wednesday, February 11th. This bike was hanging from hooks I installed in the rafters of the garage so someone came into the garage and stepped on the hood of my car and to get this bike. I know because they left their foot print on the hood of my car. There was a U-lock locked between the rear tire and frame but not locked to an object.
As mentioned earlier this bike had a small rectangular triathlon sticker attached to it that we could never remove. If you see a women's Fuji with a sticker on the frame with a 4-digit number that start with "57" call the police immediately.
The picture is what the bike looked like and obviously not the exact bike.
