Schwinn Super Sport

What happened

I had an early morning shift at work, and locked my bike at 4:45 a.m. and went in to work at 250 E Superior St. It was near the street, yet in view of the security desk at Prentice Women's Hospital. I went out to check on it during my break, at approximately 11:30 a.m., and neither bike nor lock was present. I imagine that an opportunistic bike thief with a cable cutters happened upon it and simply cut the cable and walked off with it. I've only worked at this address and parked my bike at it twice, so I don't think that the incident could have been premeditated.
