Lost/Stolen, Silver Schwinn with Hokey Spokes

An incredible event was marred for me when someone lifted my bike from camp Sunday night after the Temple burn. Silver Schwinn, with four Hokey Spokes (two on each wheel), and a bike lock with braided mesh wrapped around the front wheel post. Yes, I know, I should have used that lock...
It would be great to think that perhaps it was "borrowed" rather than stolen for monetary purposes. I hate the thought that there are burners so selfish as to rip people off. I will happily pay shipping to get it back to me, and thanks.

Hi Redoils. Actually, I doubt it was a gang unless I was just the one unlucky pern in my general area that got his stolen by them. There were a bunch of other bikes around that were also unlocked and none of them got stolen. I think it was taken by an individual and am hoping maybe they were just stoned and stupid instead of evil and that they might have left it out there somewhere.
