Schwinn Mountain Bike

What happened

bike has a removable basket, it was stolen without the metal basket. been locking the bike on the fence just like everybody else. i went to the basement to pick up the laundry at 8:20am, and saw my bike is still locked in the fence. After 15minutes of organizing the finished laundry, i came out of the basement and saw my bike wasn't there anymore. I tried to calm myself and brought the laundry inside the apt and went down again hoping i was just wrong and my bike would still be there. But no my bike was indeed stolen, I saw the cable was left on the fence and was cut twice. Seems the thief(s) really know what they're doing. I know no one could get to side passageway without a key, the only thing I can think of is the thief cut the cables and lift the bike over the fence and run off.The other side of the fence is a parking lot where the gate was open. I know there's very slim chance of retrieving this bike, but whoever did this, please have a heart.
