Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Storage room.
How long was the bike locked in this location?: 
Since June 1st
Incident Description: 
My bike was last seen in our storage area of our building on June 28th. We left for a vacation and the bike was still here when we left. The bike wasn't locked to anything, but it does have wheel locks and I still have the key to these locks. The bike wasn't locked because this storage area is only used by my unit. The people who live on the 1st floor the building do have access to this area, but don't use it because there is no storage for them. The lock to the door to this area doesn't appear to be tampered with so it is thought that someone who does have access to this door exited the building this way and didn't fully close the door (it automatically locks, but must be closed all the way). There was a brown Whole Foods grocery bag left where the bike was. This bag contained used children's books (Dora the Explorer) and about 5 Pornographic DVDs as well as a Red Eye dated July 3rd. I just noticed the bike was missing today as I was going to take it out for a ride. I figured it was stolen on July 3rd (based off the red eye newspaper I found in the bag) while we were out of town. I have reported it stolen to the police and have called the play it again sports store near me, but so far nothing has come up.
