Specialized Vita

What happened

Someone (more likely it was more than one person) somehow accessed our gated garage area and stole my bike overnight. They bike was unlocked in my garage area and the garage door was closed. Since there were no signs of forced entry, it's likely that they jumped the fence into the lower porch area, went to the garage area (which is accessible by way of the patio area), grabbed the bikes, and lifted them out of the lower porch area.

Condition

The bike was in good working condition, though the gears and chain were a bit rusted and the gear shifts were a bit off. Though I do not have the serial number, there were distinguishing features: 1. The seat has some black tape on it covering a few splits in the seat. 2. The gears are a little rusted. 3. The petals are an orange-ish color and were kind of spikey. I don't think they belonged to the original bike. I think they were a modification. 4. It was a smaller women's bike frame so it had a dropped crossbar. 5. These might have been removed, but there is a gray kryptonite U-lock on the vertical seat bar that's a little off-center, and a front and back. 6. The handle bars were flat. 7. There was a 3-gear side and a 9-gear side on the handles. 8. The wheels were thin (80-100 psi). Not mountain bike wheels. 9. The picture I uploaded is not of the bike itself, but it does look very similar. 10. It was fairly light. I think the frame was aluminum.
