Women's Schwinn World Tourist

What happened

Locked it up around 11 p.m. to a chain link fence post separating my friend's backyard from his neighbor's. I'd locked it there on Monday without any problems, and my friend had also locked his own bike there in the same manner hundreds of times without an issue. Around 7 a.m. we heard what sounded like mechanical sawing but since he lives right by the Brown Line I thought it was just construction. Can't say for sure if that was someone sawing my lock, though, because I didn't go look.

27" wheels I'm pretty sure

Condition

There's an old fashioned bell on the right handlebar and a place to mount a light on the left. There's red splash guards on both the wheels; not brand new but from the late 80s/early 90s I think, and in good condition. Silver spokes on the wheels.
