Distinguishing features

Black Kestrel 500. I don't know the exact series number or serial number. I don't know the size but it is small since I am only 5'2". Attached to the underside of the right handlebar is a yellow Cycle Oregon sign with 'Team Ninja' written in pen. There is a bike light loosely attached to the underside of the Terry brand bike seat, above the faded black underseat bag.There is the rubber strap for the bike light on the upper left side of the handlebar, and the mounting bracket for an odometer on the upper right side of the handlebar. The handlebar tape is well worn and is a black/white zebra type design. There are many chips on the upper part of the frame from my u-lock. The u-lock may still be attached as it was stolen with the bike.There is a fair amount of road dirt from winter riding conditions. The tire rims are a bit worn, but the tires themselves are relatively new, purchased summer 2013.

Theft Details

Description of incident

Bike was stolen on NW 14th between Glisan & Hoyt Streets in Portland, OR. I had been at Verde Cocina restaurant from 5-8:40 p.m. There were no bike racks on this stretch of 14th so I locked my bike to the No Parking signpost adjacent to a warehouse driveway at 500 NW 14th. Le Bouchon Restaurant, 517 NW 14th, is directly across the street and in plain view of where my bike was locked. Verde Cocina's server said she had seen my bike still locked up around 9:30 p.m. and a male wearing a black hoodie was seen hanging around for quite some time. There was a small pizza type box, and beverage can sitting on the sidewalk where my bike was locked. Reward: willing to discuss
