Mountain Bike

What happened

I believe that someone used bolt cutters to cut the lock and stole my bike. I believe it to be an inside job because whoever stole it had to have a key to get into that area. According to my building engineer this is the 6th bike stolen this month and they never told us that there were recent thefts.

Bike details

Type

Mountain Bike

Color

blue in color, had rust

Size

medium - 26 inch

Condition

This was a 26inch, 21 speed monoshock (shock absorption under the seat) mountain bike. It was blue and had rust on it. I can't remember the name on the side because I literally had the bike for less than 24 hours before it was stolen. It was a used bike, and had been used for a few years by my mother. The seat was not original to the bike. It was a special large black Schwinn seat. The handle bars had special hand guards on the side to protect hands from trees, etc. While riding. There was also a small black & blue Velcro bag on the front. It had two zipper pockets. It also had a water bottle holder. The back break had some issues and didn't work all the way.
