Gazelle 3-speed women's, 1998(?)
What happened
It was leaning against our garage door in the driveway on a quiet/low-crime residential street. Sometimes teenagers or adults walk by on their way to the lake late at night on warm nights. Also our house is near Northwestern which just came back into session and has lots of students looking for bikes, I had a great lock and helmet in the saddlebag but forgot to lock or bring the bike into the garage. This time I didn't park the car in the driveway making the bike very obvious to passers by. My fault all-round. The photo is of a Gazelle very similar to mine. Same shape (except for chain cover), same base color except my handlebars were black. Missing my saddlebags and teh silvery-lavender and yellow-green design near the Gazelle insignia.
