Parts Theft: Frame Only: Schwinn Le Tours (late 70s/early 80s)

What happened

Someone came upstairs to my second floor porch on 21st St that is facing the EL tracks by the alley and snatched the bikes I left outside overnight while I was cleaning my floors/walls. I had the Baby blue and white bike frame and the rebuilt Schwinn that is dark grey with pink decals and took them both while my family slept. I did not notice this until my wife notified me the next day while I was gone that someone had come upstairs and taken the bikes. They did not take anything else of value, including another bike... They simply came and stole the bike frame and the rebuild project I had. I thought the gate/visibility to the busy train tracks/4 people being in the house was deterrent enough, but someone was brazen enough to come upstairs at my house while we were all home and take these two items.

Road Bike

Color

Baby blue/White Trim decals

Size

Large Frame, probably 59cm+

Condition

This was actually just a frame that was stolen (along with another completely restored Schwinn that i didn't know the model of. That one was Dark Grey with Pink Decals.) The frame was dinged up in certain parts from a couple of crashes, most importantly, the rear drops were slightly bent, the front forks had some of the baby blue paint brushed off when I was initially restoring it. More importantly and a more signature characteristic was that I had a very nice redline saddle on it that I adapted from an old BMX.
