What happened

I'm pretty sure that someone went through this neighborhood with some industrial chain cutters and took every bike without a u lock. I'm fairly certain we will not see anyone riding this bike around as I found this perfect match of my bike on craigslist today. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/bik/1870215614.html Also, anybody that knows anything about bikes would know this bike isn't worth the craigslist asking price of $500. I bought it for $450 on clearance 5 years ago! Hopefully someone here can help. Thanks!
