2008 Trek Navigator 1.0 Women's 16" bicycle

What happened

I use this bike rack often when I need to use the Red Line so I believe someone notices that I leave it there regulary. Today, I locked it at 11:50am and returned 3:40pm and the lock was pounded open with what looks like a hammer. I have a Kryptonite U Lock and keep only the frame locked. I notice that there are quite a few of bikes stolen in front of the FFC Club across the street from Perillo BMW and it must be the work of crimials who "stalk" the area. Hence, Since I leave it there often, it's a good chance the Dirtbag saw it before and stole it very quick because the rack was in front of the bank during business 1PM business hours!!
