Yes—I think you're probably right Patrick. I am 90% sure the brown B17 in this photo from a current Craigslist ad is my saddle:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bop/5520958175.html (and screenshot attached for when the ad goes down, in case anyone is looking for their saddle) However, I am not sure what the best course is, give I have photos of my saddle on my bike from a distance only and I would need to pretend to be a buyer. I have a call in to the El Cerrito Police on this. I'm curious to see if my SaddleSack appears in an ad. Hope you can get your panniers back Erin.
