Just a few additions to this, the bike was recently hit by a car and the fork is bent, the top half of the wheel leans to the right if you're looking at the bike from the front. If you work in one of the shops in town, someone would likely bring it in to fix it, it's not very easy to ride in its current state.

This bike is a smaller size frame, something like 47cm from the bottom bracket spindle to the seat tube top.

It was stolen from her back porch on Dantzler court, which is near the Southland area.

There are also various scratches on the frame, and a couple of very small spots of rust here and there.

There's a Bontrager women's saddle gel saddle on the bike as well.

I also think the rear tire still has a small cut in it, somewhere around the middle of the tread, this has been fixed on the fly with a small patch of duct tape on the inside.

Later today, I'll try to get a picture of the bike posted here.

This bike has been recovered and we are working on getting it back to its owner. It was found abandoned on campus.

Corbin's out of town, She'll be back in about a week(ish). I let her know through facebook that it's been located. Is it at the shop?

I can come by and grab it if you'd like, she lives with me.

Unbelievable that it was found, I'll speak on her behalf to say THANKS A LOT!
