Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Storage room.
How long was the bike locked in this location?: 
I stored the bike in the bike room for months.
Incident Description: 
I entered the bike storage unit in my apartment building. The room itself is kept locked and is inside the locked back area of the apartment building as well. My bike and lock were missing from the bike rack. I have not ridden it or been in the room in at least a month so although I found out today, the incident may have taken place quite a while ago. The person who stole the bike would have had to have access to the outside door to the back area of my apartment building in addition to the basement door that leads into the bike storage room. Alternatively, someone could have entered through the front of the apartment building through two doors which should be locked as well. The lock and bike are both missing but I would guess that the lock would need to be cut as it was a combination lock. Other bikes, both locked and unlocked, are still in the storage room as well as outside in the back of our apartment building.
