Ritchey front wheel with continental gatorskin and Cinelli bull horn handlebars (Parts Theft)

What happened

Thief stole many parts from multiple bicycles at the Clybourn Metra station. There is a bike rack just south of Armitage and west of Ashland where lots of bicycles are locked up. The thief didn't cut any locks, just used some tools to steal what was unlocked. I left the bicycle at 6:00 am and returned at 5:00 pm so I cannot verify a time, but so many parts were missing that the thief had to be there for more than a couple minutes.

Condition

This was not a complete bike. Only my front wheel and handlebars were stolen. Front wheel is a silver ritchey hub (r logo on hub) laced to a silver bead blasted specialized rim (no stickers or markings on the rim) with silver spokes and a brand new Continental Gatorskin 700 by 23c tire. The front wheel also has a black quick release skewer that has a larger than normal lever. I unfortunately can't remember the brand, but it is very distinguishing. The handlebars were silver Cinelli old road handlebars that were cut to bullhorns. They are very short horns. They had pink bar tape but I doubt that is still in tact. I noticed that a lot of other bikes had been ripped off so somebody was there for a while doing this.
