Storage room.

one day since last use
Incident Description:
Bike was under the back porch of the apartment building in the bike storage area. The yard is inclosed and back gate was left locked when I left for the day. when i returned this evening my bike was missing. It appeared that several other bikes had been taken as well but it's possible they were simply in use at the time. I believe someone was either let in through the back gate or forced their way in looking for anything of value to steal in the backyard or basement area.
