Trek Navigator 200

What happened

I locked up my bike when I went to class, through the front wheel and around the wheel posts. It was on DePaul University campus, outside of Seton Hall, at about 5:00pm. When I came back at 10:00pm, it was gone. The thief detached the front wheel and lifted the posts out of the u-lock. The front wheel remained locked to the rack. The theft has been reported with DePaul campus security.

Size

Ladies' 16.5 Frame

Condition

My bike is a women's hybrid(? - may be mountain). It is blue with silver cheverons, and has 21 gears. There was paint damage on head tube on both the left and right side. When I went for a ride, I put my lock on the handle bars, so it bashed into the post and chipped off the paint. Certain gears cause a light thumping noise. Aside from the fact that it badly needs a tune up, the bike is in great condition. No size, but the wheels are 26x1.95. I do not have any registration or other identifiers for my bike, unfortunately.
