Magna Fixie (rear wheel only) (Parts theft)

Magna Fixie (rear wheel only) (Parts theft)

What happened

Again, it's only my rear wheel that was stolen. The rest of the bike and the lock are still there. I left work at Howard Brown Health Center around 8:00pm and was picked up in a car, and at that point the whole bike was still locked up to the rack out front. I returned to work this morning and the rear wheel had been stolen sometime between 8:00pm on 10/30/13 and 9:00am on 10/31/13. Not the biggest loss, but the tire is unique enough that it could be identified, as it is purple. It's a Magna fixie bike from Target, and the wheel can be switched around to free-wheel from fixed.
