2012 Jamis Beatnik

What happened

NOTE: the photo included is not my exact bike, it is one I found on google images. I've provided a detailed description above of some very distinguishing features. I was working, walking a dog with a friend. We'd both locked our bikes to the bike rack. When we were done, I took the dog back inside and my friend unlocked her bike and left. When I emerged from the building approximately ten minutes later, my bike was gone. My u lock was left on the ground, the two pieces disconnected, but had not taken any noticeable damage. It still appears to be working. Both my friend and I distinctly remember me tugging on my lock to check it before leaving my bike unattended. She does not recall seeing anything amiss with my bike or lock. I'm a little baffled by it all. I really loved that bike, too. We'd been through a lot in a short time.
