I am so sorry to hear about your stolen bike. I lock up my Hillborne religiously in the "Sheldon" method (small U-lock around the rear wheel, inside the rear triangle.) When I'm going to be away from the bike for more than a minute or two, I thread a braided cable around my front wheel, through my seat to my U-lock.
My question is: how did they do it? Did they cut your U-lock? I want to know if I'm being naive thinking that my bike is safe when I lock it up this way. Would anybody be so destructive as to cut through a rear wheel in order to get at a bike locked in the Sheldon method? Link to the Sheldon method: http://sheldonbrown.com/lock-strategy.html Rethinking the Sheldon method: http://www.cyclelicio.us/2011/sheldon-lock-video/ Modified Sheldon method: http://www.802bikeguy.com/2011/07/the-modified-sheldon-brown-bike-locking-strategy/ All of this is moot if they sawed through your lock. Sorry if this is off-topic. I REALLY hope you get your bike back and am hoping in the meantime that I and others can learn from how the scumbags got yours.
