Women's Trek 720 (1998)
What happened
The bike was in the backyard, with both gates to the yard locked, though it was not chained to anything. Someone had to scale a six foot fence and lift the bike over that same fence to steal it. It also seems likely it was someone who lives in or knows the neighborhood (the Lakeview YMCA is just across the alley), because it is hard to see into the backyard from the alley, and most of the hours in which the bike could have been stolen were nighttime hours with little light. We know the bike was stolen between 7:30 PM on Sunday, 5.17.09, and 9:30 AM on Monday, 5.18.09. I currently have no job, and am just living week to week, so would love to get this bike back, though it seems like a longshot. Please help if you can...$100 cash reward for info leading to bike recovery.
