[Doriana] One at a crime, please

[Doriana]

This is a "One at a time, please" style puzzle. Here are the rules, taken from WiZ's first OAATP

- You may only ask one question at a time.
- You may ask questions consecutively, but only after I have answered your first one (i.e. You may immediately ask another question after I respond, whether or not you were the last person to ask).
- You are allowed to ask about multiple variables, provided the overall question is the same (e.g. You may still ask Person=HAM? and I will answer all components of that individually. You may also ask Was Dave Steve's father? uncle? brother? lover? orthodontist? cat? and I will do the same.
- In that spirit, you are allowed to invoke LTPF lists of things, whether or not they will help you at all
- Caveat Earlispoilor is still in effect.

I thought a crime had been committed. Seconds later, I realized a crime had indeed been committed, just not in the way I had first assumed.

I used to have a bright yellow seat cover which made it easy to recognize my grey bike in the sea of bikes parked in front of my work. One day, I couldn't spot the seat cover anywhere, so I assumed my bike had been stolen. I looked more closely, found my bike, and realized that someone had taken the seat cover.
