STOLEN IN LIVERPOOL - PLEASE HELP!

STOLEN - LIVERPOOL.
Blue Pinnacle Peak Mountain BIke. White pedals and rear mudguard. Bomber front forks, road tyres and frame bag. M-Part handlebars with white grips and white Exo brakes.
Left locked up in the bike racks outside the University Central Teaching Labs this morning. According to university security, this bit is not covered by any cameras
Reward for any information that leads to successful reclamation! Whoever took this knows exactly what they were looking at, because to any casual observer the bike looks like a filthy, battered wreck

Thanks guys. The uni will indeed be getting a s
tty letter, as will Abus for the poor design of their lock. Looking at the cut remains of the lock, there is a massive weak spot where the armoir shells taper away before the internal cable runs into the combination lock part.
The next lock I get will be one of these proper, angle grind proof HD motorbike chains, methinks.
The bike was insured luckily. However, the company want to offer me a like for like replacement bike and bolt on upgrades rather than just cash. Their opening offer (I can apparently switch the brand/model of replacents as long as they are the same or cheaper cost) is a new Specialised Hardrock with 80mm lockout Suntours and factory hydros, then the DMR pedals, lock on grips and mudguard pack as bolt-ons.
Is the Hardrock any good or should I ask to swap to something different? The one thing I loved about the Pinnacle was that it was built like a tank - and I'd like a similarly robust replacement.
