Incident Description:
Since I have owned this bike (since June 2011), I have always kept it in the inside back porch of my apartment. The interior of the porch is not visible from the street, and the apartment is on the 2nd floor (with a raised garden apartment). The back porch requires a key that only my roommates and neighbors in the two apartments below me have access to. The lock did not appear to have any stress or damage to it. My bike was on the porch last night when I was in my apartment and this morning it was gone. I have filed a police report, though I am currently at work and not able to access the report number.
