Bianchi Randonneur

What happened

I was working on my farm on Chicago Ave near California Ave and I had the bike leaned up against a table behind a large fence and unlocked gate. I walked away for one minute and the bike was behind me. I looked back and it was gone. Someone entered the lot and walked out with it very quickly. My brown Ortlieb pannier was on the back with my wallet in it. Later that morning I got a call that someone found my credit card and I.D. near Sacramento and Fullerton. My bike is the one on the right in this picture.
