Surly Big Dummy
What happened
Most likely happened after midnight. Thieves used an old suitcase they took from the alley to get over our fence (6 ft wooden fence). Unlocked the gate from the inside to get the bike out of the yard. This is not a common bike!! I have only seen a few other Big Dummies in Chicago in the past few years. The bike frame has the older "swoop" top tube.
