Incident Description:
Bike was outside, in a semi-covered apartment building courtyard. The courtyard is closed off & has a locking gate / door. I parked the bike there around 10pm on Tuesday June 24th, and left it overnight. When I left to bike the following day (Wed, June 25th) I discovered my bike was no longer in courtyard, and the courtyard gate had been busted. The chain door has a built in locked handle, which was completely removed. It was either busted out, or removed with tools. My bike seems to be the only thing that was stolen from the courtyard.
