Distinguishing features
The brake thingie on the left handlebar is slightly bent. The connection between the basket and the bike frame shows wear/cracking/rusting (on the basket par). There are dings and notches and scrapes on the bolt/nut to change the seat height because I didn't have a wrench so I tried using pliers. The rear brakes have a lot of brake cable sticking out because they were super loose after I bought it. The chain likes to slip between gears sometimes, especially when pedaling hard at a high gear, so it runs best in the middle gears.

Description of incident
I ALWAYS lock my bike. I went to DG to buy some candles. When I got home, I saw 1 when I paid for 2. So I went back to the store to ask if they'd forgotten to bag it. I left my bike by the entrance facing the parking lot (not the street). I was in the store for less than 120 seconds and when I left, it was gone. The only cars in the lot belonged to workers and the woman who was in the store before I was. The theft was possibly visible from the traffic cam on the corner. Of course, the one time I don't lock my bike, it is stolen in less than two minutes. I swear to all that's holy, if I get my bike back I will never, ever, ever not lock it again. It was stolen between 8:53PM and 8:57PM, and I would estimate it happened between 8:54 and 8:55.

Additional parts

Basket
White wire basket, cracking of paint/rusting where it attaches to bike frame
