Raleigh detour 4.5

What happened

I locked my bike on the west side of Kindred North Hospital to the "no parking" sign closest to Montrose Ave [bike was on Rockwell Ave] at 6:55am and went inside to work. When I came out of the building at 4:30pm, the bike was missing and half of the wire lock was left on the ground. Bike is in excellent condition, has a rear bike rack with a collapsable black basket on the right side of the rack. There are pieces of twine attached to the basket. I had not made any other significant alterations. The bike has not been in any accidents, and aside from some light scratching on the lower edge of the frame from my u-lock, there are no other scratches or dents. [was not aware a bike rack os located on east side of building in parking lot, and u-lock key was with other half downtown.... sadness]

Condition

Bike is in excellent condition, I purchased it August 2011. Chain might be a tad rusty, but there are no remarkable "scars." I had a rear bike rack mounted with a black collapsable wire basket off the right rear tire with two pieces of rough twine tied to the basket [for tying stuff down, each piece is a couple of feet long]. On the left side of the handlebars is the base for a clip light. Grips are the nicer ones with flat rests for the heel of the hands.
