Incident Description:
Locked bike in enclosed, locked garage at around 7:00 pm on Thursday, April 22nd. Upstairs neighbor, who shares garage, texted at 7:15 am on Friday, April 23rd to report that someone had broken into the garage and that my bike was gone.
Thief/thieves clearly had a cutting device as my ABUS chain lock was cleanly cut through. Neighbor's thick Kryptonite chain lock was also cut through but seems as if thief/thieves gave up as they had two other Kryptonite chains on their bikes. Chain was around the frame of my bike and daughter's bike with daughter's bike locked with cable and u-lock to very thick metal arm of shelf that is securely attached to the wall of the garage.
Seems as if thief/thieves forced garage door open. It was locked but is a light door/not a heavy-duty mechanism.
