Trek 7000 Series Hybrid - Women's

What happened

First of all, my bike is purple with a flower-y design; I couldn't find the exact color in a stock photo. I locked my bike to the fence outside the building directly west of 702 W. Buckingham Pl. at 8:15 pm on the evening of Thursday, May 17. I came out the next morning (Fri. May 18) at 7 am to find it gone. It was locked with a newer U-lock AND a combination cable lock; the U-lock was locked to the fence around the frame underneath the seat (my fatal mistake). The cable lock was then strung through the front wheel and through the U-lock and also locked to the fence. When I found that my bike had been stolen, the U-lock was intact. The cable lock had been cut.

The bike is purple with cream-colored flowers on the frame. Bought this bike in April 2010. Excellent condition. I bought this bike at Bob's Bike Shop in Park Ridge, IL (in April 2010). There's a sticker on it that says "Bob's Bike Shop," as well as a "City of Park Ridge" sticker. The bike also has a headlight and was pretty muddy at the time of theft.
