Incident Description:
My bike was inside a locked storage unit, in a locked basement. The storage unit's exterior lock mechanism was bent in order to slide off the padlock on it. Several other storage units had the same damage. We noticed this on the morning of March 27th at about 7:30am. The landlord was on the property until about 10pm the night before, so we assume it occurred after that, although it could've occurred anytime between Sunday and Tuesday morning.
