Found: Red Randar Sportlite
I found a bike the other day. Maybe it's yours, having been stolen. Hopefully I didn't take it while you left it there "just for a second."
It's a red Randar brand, "Sportlite Series." It looks like a vintage 1970s frame, with a custom padded saddle, and a flat (ish) handlebar, which I strongly suspect replaced drop bars.
It's missing one crank (pedal), and the front wheel is fairly taco'ed, so it needs some work. Perhaps it was abandoned.
Found leaned against a bush on Clyde Street right off Ellsworth Avenue.
I'm happy to return it to its owner, but I can't be running a bike warehouse in my basement for months on end. Please reply soon, or I'll dispose of it otherwise.

@ Noah - There's probably a frame in it for you if you'd like.

Should be Randor, not Randar.
