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?: 
The bike was not locked, but it was inside my apartment complex in my back hallway. It had been back there since September. I don't ride it in the winter. It was there for certain four days before I noticed it was gone, but I was out of town.
Incident Description: 
The bike was stored in the locked back hallway behind my apartment, which is only accessible through the back doors of the apartments in the complex. My other bike was not stolen. We noticed it was missing on the morning of Wednesday, April 7th. It was last seen Sunday morning, April 4th. I was out of town. I know, I'm an idiot, and it should have been locked. It was locked in that same spot all winter long, and I had removed the lock to move it the weekend before and didn't relock it like a dumbass.
