Incident Description:
We have a secure, secluded yard with high fences and buildings on 3 sides. Porch not visible from alley as coach house completely blocks access. Gate to yard is accessible by short alleyway directly to Chicago ave. I rode home after midnight, unlocked and relocked our gate, and carried my bike up to our 3rd floor porch, where I locked it to itself and placed it leaning against a dark wall and behind a large chair. In the morning, our gate door was open and my bike was gone. Not sure if I was followed home or if someone just broke in looking for stuff in general and found my bike when they made their way up to our porch.
