Bike was locked to a bike rack near Pearson Street in front of the MCA among lots of other bikes and a full bike rack. Left the MCA when it was closing after being in there for an hour. A few bikes were left on the bike rack. Mine was gone, and it was stolen. Lock was taken with it. To elicit some sympathy: handbuilt the bike with a friend all summer,, rode it for three days before it was gone.
