Incident Description: 
The bike was stolen from the side passageway next to my apartment. The passageway is not very visible from the sidwalk, however there had been a few contracters walking through the area over the past few days while conducting repairs on the building. The bike was attached to a secure metal pole using a newer U-Lock w/Flat Key. A few days after locking up the bike, I noticed that the U-Lock was still attached, intact, to the pole, but the bike was missing.
