I don't have any decent photos of my bike but I kept it stock so the catalog photo works. Yesterday at the Highline on Broadway someone stole my bike in broad daylight. Its a gold Kona with a black back rack and fenders. There are grease smudges on the frame from when I had a derail-er issues. The derail-er issue is still noticeable because it won't go into 5 gear (derail-er is a little bent). The gear indicator on the right side has a crack in the plastic and there are three stickers on the frame. One that says maker faire, a ghost teeth band sticker and one with a girl with purle hair holding a guitar flame thrower. I have a second job as a bike messenger this bike means everything to me so please if you have any info call me at 206 565 6353.
Thank you, SamO

Common bike w stock parts and no s/n or photos? Sorry friend, that things chopped by now and even if it eventually ended up w the cops you'd have trouble getting it back. Best case scenario, its ditched somewhere in the area after a joyride.
Not trying to be a buzzkill but just suggesting that its time to go full plan b.
Also who are you?

tl;dr: be on the lookout for a gold Kona Dew with a Ghost Teeth sticker, probably not a ton of those floating around town so if the sticker hasn't been removed...
Whereabouts is the sticker located? Toptube, downtube, ...?

I really want to know - because this will influence where I keep a look out. If it was a u-lock then I know a couple places that thieves with angle grinders hang out. If it was a cable lock, or no lock, it could literally be any tweaker anywhere.

Cable lock, wrapped around tree, not sure cutting method. Don't think the lock was left. She may have even seen them. Didn't think much about it since is was during day on broadway, high ped traffic.

Sucks to learn the hard way that cable locks = stolen, sometimes especially in high traffic areas. Use a u-lock, it won't make your bike safe, but they take longer than 10 seconds to cut through.
If she can't get it back tell her to buy a disc compatible frame at the bikery or some shit, I've got all the components for a lower-end disc commuter that she can straight up have.

Down tube had all the stickers. It was a cable lock and they left nothing behind, doubtful it was cut because of that. Was bought new at recycled cycles so they were awesome and got me my receipt and serial # and it is now registered as stolen on bike index and reported to the police. Thank everyone. Im not having high hopes for it being found in one piece so this does put me in the market for a new bike. My budget is about 600$ and I am wanting something as similar to my old bike as possible
Thank you again everyone

definitely upgraded to U-lock . I would be willing to pay to, but also happily accept any help I can get. I need a bike to truly afford another bike :(
