Raleigh Misceo Hybrid

What happened

I ride my bike each day to the UIC Art & Architecture building where I am enrolled in a summer class. For the past week I have locked my bike at the same place, on a small bike rack (two humps) on the west facing side of the A+A building. My bike lines the sidewalk. The campus is very empty, and I see few people passing the building during the day along with students from the A+A building who are often outside and would react to anything suspicious. There was one other bike locked to the rack, much older and in poor condition. There was no sign of someone struggling to take my bike. The bike was taken between 1pm and 5pm, in broad daylight apart from a torrential downpour in the afternoon. I use a very strong lock, the Bordo folding, and I would imagine that someone would need to be equipped with the right tools to break the lock, but in broad daylight that would be difficult to do without being noticed.
