Bike Stolen in Squirrel Hills

My bike is stolen from my porch in Squirrel Hills on 5th Nov during early morning. It's Specialized 2013 Crosstrail Disk Black color. It has side mirror on the left handle, a tinker bell on the handle center shaft, rear blinker and memory foam seat cover (grey color). The serial number is [redacted]. Please let me know if you see this bike anywhere. I have an ACL and cannot walk so I bought this bike. Any help will be appreciated.

Sigh -- it never stops. Beautiful bike. Keep an eye on Craigslist. People do recover stolen bikes here, maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones.

You can only edit the post for a few minutes after you first send it. But the folks that control the board for Bike Pittsburgh can go in and delete it for you. You want to be the only one with the specific information that will identify this bike as yours. Sharing the serial number publicly means that other people will have the means to claim it as theirs. No big deal. I know someone at Bike Pgh will take care of this for you quickly. In the meantime, good luck on finding the bike.

Its been a month. I am still hopeful. I dont know why. But I cant believe that my bike is stolen. Please let me know if you see any suspicious Specialized 2013 Crosstrail Disk Black color bike around.

@pratyush.tewari: did you file a report with the police? That would be good to do, even one month after.
