Surly Steamroller (FRONT FORK and HANDLEBARS)

What happened

The thief dismantled the headset and loosened the front wheel. They also cut the rear brake cable and may have cut the front brake cable as well. Everything else was left on the bike, which was U-locked to a pole. They left the part of the headset attached to the frame but took the fork, spacers, stem, handlebars, brake levers, and front brake. I assume that whoever stole the headset may have stolen it for personal use, as they left the rear wheel which had flip flop hub, and which was not locked. They also left the seat and post, which they would have had the tools to take it off, if they had wanted to.
