Stolen:2009-08-22
Stolen From: Stolen From: NW Davis and 3rd, in front of the Boiler Room. Portland, OR 97209
Neighborhood: Old Town
Owner: Nathan Vance
OwnerEmail: nathan.vance@gmail.com
Reward: Yes!
Description: Description:

Black men’s Schwinn Suburban, with color-matching fenders with white lettering and pinstripes, a few rust spots, big chrome mounted shifters (one broken), padded black original Schwinn logo seat, curved chrome cruiser handle bars w/black handle grips and old original (not accurate) speedometer.

The back tire doesn’t hold air too well and it has a habit of slipping out of gear. It’s also pretty heavy! There is no chain guard but a chrome “lip” over the front pedal / chain area. It also has a chrome/rusty metal cargo rack with retainer/spring “arm”. There was also a small portable air pump held to the back cargo rack with a bungee cord.

I am a car-free and my bike is my primary mode of transport. The only proof of ownership I have is the pictures below taken in my backyard, a receipt for new tires and chain from April (Community Bicycle Center), and the testimony of the woman I bought it from at an estate sale back in March.

There is also a mounted logo from a bike store in Tacoma on the frame.

Stolen From: SE Hawthorne and 22nd.
Neighborhood: Hawthorne
Owner: Emilie Clark
OwnerEmail: emilie.clark@gmail.com
Reward: $50
Description: The bike is super tiny and has a 22′ wheel in the front and 26′ in the back, which makes it pretty easily identified. It also has a poorly attached light on the front which flops around a lot. The pedals are really sharp and always cut up my leg. Basically if you stole this bike you’re going to be disappointed with it, unless you’re very short and like getting your leg cut up.
