Other situation, please describe below.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
3 days
Incident Description:
The bike had been locked to itself in the vestibule of a friends building where I had been house sitting for three days. I last saw it at 8pm, Thursday, Sept. 11th. I went downstairs at 11:30am this morning (Friday, Sept. 12th) to find that the bike, lock & chain had been stolen. Only my helmet was left behind. This leaves me to believe that it was taken by a neighbor or friend of a neighbor as the thief would have had to bypass 2 security doors to get to my bike, but I have no proof of this. There are 2 other bikes locked to themselves in the exact same area.
