Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Road Bike
Size: 
54"
Color: 
Black and Silver with Blue details
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
Bike was in good condition, minor scratches and paint damage mostly on the underside of frame and some chipping around screw-tightened connections. The bike is normally stored inside and so, except for dirt, the paint was in very good condition for the age. Has mostly factory standard components for the Trek 1000, including the seat, post, handlebars, etc. The wheels are factory-standard Alexrims wheels, but NOT the factory standard bontrager tire (but I can't remember what brand they are...) Some discerning features of the bike, it has the factory-standard non-clip pedels, a small Trek pouch under the rear of the seat, a white Bontrager-brand carbon fiber water bottle cage on the front post brackets, the receiver end of a front-mounted CAT EYE bike light (left side of handlebars) and a black and orange smart phone holder (right side of handle bars). I could only find a blurry photo of it (taken 2 months ago) which does not show some of the accessories, as well included is a stock photo of same model, style, color for clarity of reference.

Incident Description: 
I was finishing up work at 5am, having had worked a 12+ hour day at the Ruthpage Center for the Arts at 1016 N Dearborn. I was in the lobby of the theatre when I heard a grinder outside. Thought at first it could be road work, but it seemed too early, and then realized my bike was outside. Ran out front door, saw a guy grinding off my lock with a battery powered grinder. He had removed my front wheel, which was still locked to the frame and bike rack. I yelled at him, told him I was calling the police, and he said, "Go ahead." I stood in the doorway and watched him grind out a chuck of the lock, put my wheel back on and ride off down an alley. My boss hopped in her car and went after him, but she never saw him after he had left. There was a guy in a silver Honda CRV driving by, looked like he was waiting for the guy to finish. http://i.imgur.com/7wn1K.jpg $80 lock defeated in 5 minutes.
