early to mid 90's Benotto Modelo Road bike

What happened

Bike was locked with a U lock to fence at the NE corner of Weisman Park at Mildred and Oakdale Ave's, a highly trafficked park with lots of families and children. My bike was secure and undisturbed when I left my apartment at 9:40am and returned at 10:00am to walk my dog. At 10:30am I exited my apartment to ride to work and the U part of the lock was laying on the ground inside the park fence and my bike was gone.
