Incident Description:
I noticed this morning the back door to the storage area of building was wide open. Other building tenant saw bike was not in Garage.
Another bike that was in the Garage is also missing. When I saw the door wide open I assumed another tenant had forgotten to close it or the wind blew it open. My guess is that someone came in through the back gate and entered the garage and carried the bike out. It is a heavy bike with a integrated rear wheel lock and the front wheel and frame secured with a heavy duty chain lock. It would have had to have been carried away.
