That would not explain why the guy destroyed it. Bikes are also stolen just to have a bike. I hate people that destroy things for no good reason. Around here, I am more concerned with some drunk meat head just smashing up my bike for no reason than it being stolen. I see bikes locked up with taco'ed wheels with some regularity.
I would definitely call that number or better yet see if you can get a name attached to it.
