Incident Description:
I kept my bike locked in my garage. Only myself, my roommates, the landlord, and a tenant that neither myself nor my roommates knew about have a key to the garage. I think that this mysterious tenant is likely responsible, but I suppose someone could have picked the lock. I left for a week-long vacation. When I returned I found the garage door wide open. The lock was not broken and looked unharmed. My bike was gone but the thief left my helmet and steel cable. A U-lock was attached to the bike, but I have the keys.
