A Schwinn bicycle, originally a gift from a homeless man, stolen from our home. Please help us find it!

My sons received a Schwinn Stingray  bicycle (modern style) from a man that was homeless who used to live by our loft in Berkeley. Who knows how long he saved for it, but he did and then he gave it to them. He was like family to us. Well July 12th between midnight and 6:30am,  someone came behind our house, up onto our back deck, and stole it. It was only a foot away from our back door, which is pretty unsettling as well. It is red with chrome flame decals, black rims, a large front tire and raked front end like a chopper, a fat rear tire, and a chrome studded black banana seat. We are offering a $100 reward for its safe return as it has tons of sentimental value. Please, if anyone has any information as to its whereabouts please call me. 405-269-5892 or 510-263-9648. It was stolen from 1539 Morton Street near Lincoln here in Alameda.
