Schwinn Frontier
What happened
The thief/s were somehow able to take off my front tire and maneuver around the lock and stole the frame and back tire. I obviously must not have secured the frame enough. However, it appears the bike next to mine was stolen by cutting a cable lock, so I'm guessing the thief/s would have just cut my cable lock anyway. The opinion of both the police officer I spoke with and a local bike owner is that the bike is probably now out of the neighborhood - like on the North Side, suburbs, etc. Note: the closest photo I was able to find was a picture of the male version of this bike being sold on Craigslist. Photo is attached.
