Incident Description:
I locked my bike up at approx 6:50am yesterday 10/3/2011
I came out to check on the bike approximately10am. Bike was still there.
I came out at the end of my shift at4pm. Approximately 4:10 is when I noticed the bike missing.
I went to the front desk at 120 S Riverside to report the bike missing. I spoke with Regina Weaver with Security. She showed me differnt camera angles of various bike racks. I was told to tell her which camer angle was pointing at the bike rack. I identified one as it was a clear view of the bike rack in which my bike was stolen.
She proceeded to file a report and when I asked her if I should file a police report, she said there's no need because a police report will be filed today when security reviews the camera tape. She said to call the Assistant Director of Security, Sharnell Hawkins tomorrow morning (10/4/2011) around 10am.
Today 10/4/2011, I received a call from Manny Fuentes, asking me where the bike was located. When I offered to come down to show exactly which bike rack and where it was located, he declined and said a description was enough. He assured me that he would contact me after reviewing the tape. I was confidant he would see the theif because I was told that the camera is on the spot running 24/7.
Towards the end of my shift, at 3:45pm, I found it odd that Manny had not called me yet with a status update of his findings. SO I called him and was surprised when he said the tape did not find anything. And when I asked for a copy of the police report, he said I have to do that. Which was conflicting with what Regina told me.
So at 6pm today,when I got home, I spoke with Officer Eric Medley and filed a police report. That police report # is HT527472.
I also registered the bike at CAPS Clear Path Bike Registration, Stolen Bike Registry, and GT bikes. Regina told me that there were 3 other bikes stolen off the property within the past summer. I would appreciate a call back to discuss how I can help with the investigation as I am shocked that my bike was stolen. I even registered last week to get freight access so I can store my bike indoors, however, was told that there was not a bike room.
