Schwinn Caliente

What happened

I rode to my university building (UIC Applied Health Sciences building) around 6pm to study inside. I locked it as I usually do in the bike racks in the front of the building. When I left at 11pm, I found the lock, cut, lying where the bike had been left. This area is well lit and typically there is security in the area, so I was very surprised that this happened. THe picture provided is not my own bike, but the same model and color (mine has white handlebar tape)
