Incident Description: 
My bike was stolen from infront of my apartment in Logan Square. The newer u-lock w/flat key was attached by the top tube to the fence and then fence was smashed at the bottom so that the post could be freed and the bike taken. I'm assuming that the white handlebars/toeclips/tires are probably pretty muddy as my front yard is very wet from the rain.
