My friend Angela’s 1956 Schwinn was stolen in Venice! She’s not on FB so I’m replying for her. If nothing has been changed the seat should be wobbly and there's a rack that is wider than normal and folds up into a child’s seat with foot rests on either side. I’ve never seen another rack like this but it could have been removed by the robber. The handle grips are blue. The bike used to be the same color but the body color has flaked off for the most part. She will be ecstatic if this is her bike. Thank you squirrel!

Sorry Maria, this isn't Angela's bike.   Kind of a shot in the dark to find the owner, but i'd love it returned.  Its such a bummer that theft is such a problem in this neighborhood.

Way to go Squirrel Underpants for trying to return the bike to its rightful owner!  I wish there were more people like you out there.

Goodness I hope this is my bike!

 

Post-superbowl I had my old Schwinn stolen from outside my house. Mine was an old silver bike and I put newish bull-type handlebars and brake levels put on. The old saddle has some electrical tape on it… and its a very large bike. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to describe! Crossing my fingers!
