Incident Description
Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Other situation, please describe below.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
1 day
Incident Description:
Bike was in basement with numerous others. Back, outer door of two-family dwelling (access to basement steps once in) possibly left unlocked (?) as no sign of forced entry at door.
Unsure of time, though most likely in early AM hours of 07/22. No other bikes removed from basement. Hit & run. Most valuable bike id'ed? Bike was not visible through basement windows, so thinking it was potentially neighborhood deviants or consistent passers by who'd seen me leaving/coming home with bike as I rode it daily to work in the Loop.
I know, what a dummy for forgetting to lock it. Totally bummed. Thanks for reading & keeping an eye open. Peace.
