Brooks Standard B17 saddle, Seat-post (unknown make), & Seat-post/saddle Toolbag

What happened

I think someone saw an opportunity to steal this saddle (and the seat-post it was attached to), and used an Allen wrench to unbolt the seat-post and walk off with it and and saddle. This was during daylight, with plenty of street traffic around on the sidewalk around the nearby stores. As I walked toward the bus stop, heading South on Milwaukee to Western, I noticed that the caribbeaner that I had some sunblock and chap-stick on, and which had been attached to my saddle, had been hooked to a chain-link fence across from the Walgreens at Armitage. There was no sign of the saddle toolbag, however. No other bike parts were affected, including a non-quick release (but not cable-locked) front wheel with generator hub, nor rear quick-release wheel, nor beautiful floral-patterned panniers that were hooked to the rack, nor my tail-light, which is attached only by a tied-up old innertube knot.

Condition

8-year-old and well-worn but good condition Brooks honey-colored B17 standard saddle. It's been caught in the rain too many times, but still has great structural integrity. I honestly don't know the make of the seat-post. There was also a small toolbag kept attached to the seatpost & saddle, which is blue and black with a reflector on the back, and which contained pink tire levers, a patch kit, and a spare inner tube (26x1.5).
