Incident Description:
Bike had both wheels locked to the frame in a private alleyway of my apartment building. It was not locked to an object, as there is no object in the alleyway to lock bikes to. The only way to get into the alleyway is if you have a key to the building, or a resident buzzes you in. The three other bikes regularly parked in the alleyway were not stolen.
