1960s Red Raleigh mixte taken from lower haight 4/18

[Melyssa]

boohiss! my beloved city bike was stolen some time between 10:30pm on 4/17 and 9:30am on 4/18 from an apartment entryway in the lower haight. my roommate said he noticed the door propped open when he left at 7am on 4/18 and thought it was strange. that's probably when they got the bike. 

anyway, description of bike...
