1992 Bridgestone MB-3

What happened

Bike was in basement storage unit of 3-flat. I last rode it in August. I last saw it there in September or October. I ride another bike daily and was not paying attention to this bike; I just assumed it was where I left it. Around December 3, 2010, I went down to get the bike and it was gone. My neighbor informed me that someone who had stayed with him had stolen some of his things and pawned them; it's likely the same thing happened to my bike. Therefore, I expect this bike is in or has been in a pawn shop on Lawrence near Ashland, or somewhere in that area.
