24-26 hours
Incident Description: 
The bike was locked up in a secure bike room in the basement of our condo. Someone had to break in the front door and then into the bike room to steal this. I last used the bike at about 3pm on 9/15 and noticed it was gone the morning of 9/17. But I just that someone else in our bldg had some stuff stolen in a storage unit adjacent to the bike room the night of 9/15 or the morning of 9/16 so I'm assuming my bike was taken at the same time (early on the 16th). There were other bikes in the room that didn't get taken so I guess I was the unlucky one here. We believe that the thief tried to come back last night because our door look to be jimmy'd with.
