Hi everyone, a couple folks suggested posting this here for visibility, so here goes.
My new bike (a 2013 GT Transeo 4.0) was stolen from my back porch this weekend near 40th St and Penn Ave in Bloomfield/Lawrenceville, despite being inside a gated courtyard, locked to the railing and not visible from the street. It looks identical to the one in the picture below (black frame with neon orange stripes). I do have the serial number, but would rather not post it here.
I have filed a police report and listed it in the National Bike Registry as stolen. The police seem to think the neon orange makes it distinctive enough that someone might notice it.
If anyone happens to see a bike like it, especially in the Lawrenceville or Bloomfield area, please let me know---Matthew @ (806) 626-6325. Thanks everyone!
