It is sad, our sympathies. Keep checking places like craiglist, in case someone decides to try to sell it.
Bike thefts are so common here, the police rarely take any time to deal with complaints

PM me what your bike looks like and I'll keep an eye out. There are few private parties in my neighborhood that sell a TON of bikes so you never know. I had a bike stolen from me as well this year and it baffles me too.
