Specialized Hardrock

What happened

I went to class in UIC's Art and Architecture building off of Harrison Street. I arrived there at 1pm and didn't leave the building till 6:40pm. I locked my bike up to a metal railing right outside the main entrance and locked the two wheels, chain, frame and seat with Masterlock's Python lock. The lock was cut and left about 5 feet away near the handicap ramp. I had last seen my bike when I finished locking it up around 1:05pm that day so anytime between then and 6:40pm is when it could of been stolen.

Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: I bought the bike in 1999 so it has a few scratches here and there, but I just had a tune up last May. The cassette and chain were replaced.
