I agree, in that I think the OP's bike was trashed on purpose with no attempt to steal it. Where I went to school a "few" years ago, bike theft wasn't a huge problem, but there were a lot of bikes that got trashed. If it happened during the day, I always assumed it was something personal. At night it was usually drunken vandalism. There was a badly bent bike up in a tree for at least ten years in town, near campus. I believe they eventually cut the tree down.
