Incident Description:
My bike was locked to a bike rack inside a laundry area, since either Thursday Sept. 12 or Friday Sept. 13 at a Roger's Park apartment building. Only the front wheel was locked with a cable (with integrated key lock) to the rack, which was secured in this manner several times before. When I went downstairs to retrieve the bike at 7 a.m. on Sept. 17, I found my front wheel still locked to the rack, but the bike frame and bike wheel were missing. If the frame was locked with the front wheel, it might have been more difficult for the robber. Only a person in possession of a key to the area could have gotten in, though it may also be someone who does not live there. There is a surveillance camera that may be checked in the meantime.
