Huffy Ironman Triathlon (purple with yellow front shocks)

What happened

The bike was on the 2nd floor back porch of a 2-flat, surrounded by a yard and 8-foot-high wooden fence. The bike was not locked. It is believed the thief came through a neighbor's back fence, then hopped the shorter change link fence between the yards in order to get into the backyard of 1033. The bike has brush guards on the handlebars and the brakes were fairly worn down. A clear-backed "Ironman Triathlon" decal on the front handlebars is partially worn away from having my U-Lock resting on it and rubbing it off.

Condition

The paint was chipped up pretty good on the frame and the decals are smudged and torn off. In one place on the main tube of the frame, the purple was worn away and showed red paint underneath.
