Trek 820

What happened

I left my bike locked overnight in front of the student meeting / socializing / eating facility on the campus of IIT called the MTCC, or the McCormick Tribune Campus Center, and it was missing in the morning when I went to leave for class. I think the cable lock I used was cut and the bike was stolen, also the camera above the area where it was at HAPPENS to not be functioning anymore.

Condition

My bike is about a year old. It is a Trek 820 8 Series, and I have ridden it quite a lot since purchase. On the front is a vintage 70's generator-powered headlamp with a custom mounting bracket, and on the back wheel is the generator. The front tire is generic and the back is a thoroughly-worn Bontrager. The main color combo is black and white, and it also has blue stripes. The shifting levers are red, and the bike is stock. It is a full-size men's 26" mountain bike, and is sadly gone...
